Building for the Future
Community Centre Construction UK
Every day, more people benefit from our programs, more donations are given new life, and more creativity is unleashed—but our current space can’t keep up. True to our ethos of reuse, rehome, repurpose, we’re transforming shipping containers into a vibrant new home, at our current home at Dollimore & Christie, for learning, creativity, and community.
You can be part of this next exciting chapter—help us build a space where ideas grow and lives change.
Rural Reading Rooms Kenya
What began in Kwale County in 2013 has now grown beyond anything we could have imagined. We are seeing lives change and communities grow where access to books once were impossible to find. Now, it’s time to take our Library & Learning Centres further—into rural communities across Kenya, where books are as rare as snow.
Together, we can open doors to learning, creativity, and opportunity. Join us and help bring books where they’ve never been before.
