What We Do
The RFF is the UK's only charitable foundation specializing in Education, Architecture and Africa. Our Mission is to improve the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of secondary and in particular, vocational education across the poorest regions of Africa. Our first major programme of action is the 5-year development of Lake Bunyonyi Vocational & Secondary School (LBCCVSS) in Uganda, into an exemplar institution. This working model can then be rolled out across the rest of Uganda. To this aim we are working closely with the Uganda Ministry of Education.

We believe that the infrastructure of a school plays a hugely significant role in the success of its pupils, in the value it provides to the community and in its own prospects for long-term sustainability. As such we look to combine an innovative, specialized and architecturally-driven plan with a self-sustainable financial model to transform the life prospects of some of Africa's most under-privileged children. The results so far have been startling; in 2009 80% of school leavers from the Vocational Department at Lake Bunyonyi School found employment within 3 months.
