The Harambee Centre is a Development Education centre which promotes understanding and action on global issues. We provide opportunities for young people to understand more about how their everyday actions affect the world around them and how they can take action on global issues.

We work with educators in the formal sector (schools & colleges), informal sector (youth workers), and in the community.
