Founded in Norway in 2020, Let’s Build is a global non-profit organization which builds classrooms to increase access and enrolment for children and youth in public Secondary Education. We are impartial, neutral, and independent and united by a common vision: A Classroom for Everyone. Let’s Build is without religious and political affiliation.

We work in Sub-Saharan Africa where more than half of the world’s out of school children and youth are living. The region has one of the lowest rates of Secondary Education enrolment globally and a rapidly rising population. Let’s Build investment in public Secondary School classrooms provides opportunities for a high impact in the Region.

In Malawi, Let’s Build was fully incorporated on 13th July 2021 under the Companies Act as a Company Limited by Guarantee, non-profit purpose. It is also registered as an International NGO with Council for Non-governmental Organization (CONGOMA) and NGO Regulatory Authority (NGORA).

We cooperate with government to improve public Secondary Education infrastructure by constructing double classroom blocks and pit-latrines through local contractors and communities. We believe well designed and built classrooms help to increase, attendance, improve student outcomes, support better teaching, and reduce student dropouts. We therefore ensure all children and youth have access to a safe, inclusive, and protective learning environment to thrive in.
