Our Vision is of an Africa where children have access to education, opportunity and choice for the future
We have this vision because we believe that education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle; that every child, no matter how poor, has the right to a quality basic education; that education is improved through investing in people and; that communities hold the key to sustainable education.

History
African Revival is a UK based charity founded in 2005 by a successful businessman Tony Allen who was deeply moved by the grinding poverty that he witnessed in sub-Saharan Africa and wanted to take direct and immediate action to help address it.
Over the past five years the organisation has grown and supported a series of successful development projects within seven countries. Now African Revival continues its mission focusing on the provision of education to rural communities in Zambia, and Northern Uganda and also continues to support a project in Sudan
Our Team
We have a team of 3 full time and 3 part time staff at our UK office in Hampton Hill. We also have a country director based in Uganda and Zambia who manage and monitor the projects and work alongside skilled local staff. We are grateful to the many volunteers who assist our work in the UK and overseas.
Our Trustees
Our board of trustees holds expertise in many fields including commerce, finance, education, law and marketing and they meet regularly to discuss strategic and operational issues and often visit Africa to inspect existing projects or evaluate new ventures.
As a team of volunteers, UK and African staff and trustees we share some key beliefs that drive us in the work that we do.
