Baraka Community Partnerships

Baraka Community Partnerships is a small charity founded in 2007 when three friends, who had travelled around the world, had witnessed so much inequality first hand; they decided to get together with a view of making a difference. Starting with one project in The Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Baraka has since evolved to encompass a multitude of projects concentrating in Zambia and LaosBaraka Community Partnerships doesn't give cash handouts because we want to look at long-term solutions. We want the changes in communities to come from them - their ideas, their goals and aspirations. By developing schools, promoting healthcare and instigating water and sanitation projects, we try to galvanise communities to build their own sustainable, self-sufficient futures. All projects are suggested or initiated by locals, so we can help them build their vision for their community to make it a reality. Where possible we ask the community to contribute in some format such as labour, local materials or part-funding. Where possible, we work with local partners or organisations. We are registered with the UK Charity Commission (registration number 688 5037 Charity Number 1130756) and committed to complying with their best practice guidance. We are also registered in Canada where the six-member Board of Directors are primarily concerned with our medical trips to Zambia.
