Why donate to Building Tomorrow?

9 out of 10 children across Sub-Saharan Africa cannot read or understand a simple text by age 10. Yes, you read that correctly. 90%. Communities have the power to change this.

Our model is effective, cost-efficient, and is created by and for communities. That means your donation stretches far and makes a major impact for children across East Africa.

We’re sustainability-oriented and laser-focused on impact – and we rely on your support to reach even more children.
