What we do
Our Mission is to invest time in disadvantaged communities and support high achieving low income students to finish their education and to fulfill their potential. Makomborero aims to provide targeted impact and instill hope and self-belief in our students and their communities.
We do this through eight areas and details of which can be found below. All these areas we believe feed into our Theory of Change and the wider impact we hope to achieve through all our programmes. If you would like to read about our impact so far, please click here to access our Impact Report, written in 2023.
