WHO WE ARE

We are a charity focused on developing young professionals in the UK Construction Industry by challenging members to plan and manage construction projects to alleviate poverty in Sub Saharan Africa.

EFOD was established by Ian Flower in 2000 and currently works through four regional teams across the UK.

WHAT WE DO

Young volunteers from the construction industry; including engineers, architects, project managers and qualified apprentices, are challenged to form a team and design a solution to a problem. The team raises funds and visits the country in pairs for two-week intervals to hire labour, purchase materials, supervise construction, and commission.

To keep up-to-date with our progress and fundraising events, subscribe to our quarterly newsletter!
