Our big idea is to help young people to work their way out of poverty. By 2021 we want to double our investment in Zambia and train 460 young Zambians in construction skills each year.

Situation

Zambia is a poor country with 64% of the population living below the poverty line, with no regular income. Skills training is only available for 10% of young people leaving school despite a chronic shortage of skills in the building sector. With 65% of the population under the age of 24 there are many motivated and energetic young people desperate for the opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves and their family.

Solution

Build It International focuses on providing opportunities for young men and women and their communities to work their way out of poverty. We train builders, and have pioneered a simple and highly effective model in Zambia which is enabling hundreds of unemployed young people to learn essential building skills, and at the same time help to build vital schools and clinics for thousands of children.
