Once again, we find ourselves in the very sad position of having to cancel our 2021 Building Blitz.
Message from Niall Mellon
While the impact of Covid-19 has no borders rich or poor, those living in the developing world will suffer the most. We must extend our immediate support to them, at a time when hunger, fear, illness and uncertainty about the future has never been more real.”
About Mellon Educate
Founded in 2002, Mellon Educate has provided 175,000 Africans with new homes.
Our new mission is to provide better standards of education to 100,000 children in Africa.
Every year, Mellon Educate organises their now renowned “building blitz” trip to Africa for volunteers from all over the world to travel and lend a helping hand building better infrastructure in poor African communities.
In conjunction with the South African government, we’ve housed 175,000 local people in high grade permanent homes, replacing dilapidated shack living conditions. Since 2013, Mellon Educate has set about improving access to better standards of education in African townships.
To date, the charity has built/renovated 32 schools, providing over 50,000 young children with a better chance at life. We are building towards educational programmes throughout Africa that will benefit over 100,000 primary school kids.
