About Our Charity
Pass It On Africa (formerly Passing It On) is a Brighton-based charity working tirelessly to build schools and support education in some of the poorest parts of Africa. We achieve this through our fund-raising events in the UK, including our flagship superhero-themed races, the HEROES RUN.
We pass on as much of the money you raise as possible, as grants to education projects in Africa, usually through locally run Non-Governmental Organisations. We do our best to seek out communities with teachers who are passionate about helping their children and young people, but need help to improve the educational environment. In the longer term, our priority is to link teachers and schools to the national Ministry of Education in that country.
We have three projects, in Kenya, Ghana and The Gambia respectively, which once complete, will educate approximately 1,800 children annually.
The Tenderfoot School, Nairobi, Kenya
We have so far funded the build of 6 classrooms for the primary school and bought land for the secondary school. We are working to raise a further £146,000 to complete the project.
The Dreamlands School, Akumadan, Ghana
We have funded the entire build of the infant school and laid foundations for toilet blocks. We are now working to raise a further £112,000 to build a brand new Junior school and on site accomodation.
The Fresh Start Skills Centre, Busumbala, The Gambia
We have completed the build of the centre, up to roof level. We are now working to raise a further £96,000 to complete the centre and provide on site accomodation and counselling rooms.
