About us
Who We Are
Building Schools in Africa is an American 501.c.3 non-profit organization based out of Colorado, USA and currently working in Uganda, East Africa. We were founded in 2016 by directors Kyung and Lianna Kim.
Our founders simultaneously began a Ugandan non-profit called Brick Africa, along with our Ugandan partners.
Our Sister Organization: Brick Africa
Brick Africa is a Ugandan non-profit organization with the expressed purpose “to reach out to vulnerable communities across Uganda with a new hope.” Community development may include:
- Building schools for the young generation to learn and prosper
- Offer community education on necessary topics, such as health, agriculture, etc.
- Establish community health facilities to meet medical needs in communities and support the campaign against HIV/AIDs and other health hazards
- Engage in other construction which may aid the community, such as boreholes
- Establish a vulnerable children and orphans’ program to offer education scholarships, aid in the placement of orphans to foster families within their communities, and meet their needs in other ways seen
We have been working on this purpose through the construction of the school, community health and agriculture seminars, and teacher workshops.
