Pauline is fundraising

BuildAid is a small UK charity that delivers overseas construction projects for people in need. Our founding Trustees are Chartered Building Surveyors by profession, with over 40 years’ construction experience gained across four continents. We specialise in community buildings such as schools, shelters and hospitals and we only ever use local labour and local materials to keep costs down and build the capacity of the local community. Since our inception in 2005, we have worked in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Haiti, with ongoing projects in Kenya and the Philippines.

In the next 2 years, we're aiming to build:

• 10 classrooms for schools in isolated areas, where there is nowhere else to go for an education
• 10 dormitories for schools in isolated areas, where children must walk for hours everyday to get to school and home again
• A large mother and baby clinic providing pre and post natal care, infant immunisation and community education around nutrition, sanitation and disease prevention
• A child oncology unit for inpatient and outpatient cancer care in Malawi
• 4+ shelters for young girls rescued from online sexual exploitation and in crisis
• 4+ Sand Dams, turning arid river beds into irrigated farm land

The UK government will not help any charities with overseas construction projects. We do all of our own fundraising and desperately need your help and support.
