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 Laos Baraka 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.
