LEGO for Africa
When play becomes education, and every brick builds hope
LEGO for Africa is a recurring educational and humanitarian project, launched in December 2024, created to bring joy, color, and real opportunities for development to children from vulnerable communities in Kenya — through the power of play and creativity.
LEGO for Africa is a recurring educational and humanitarian project, launched in December 2024, created to bring joy, color, and real opportunities for development to children from vulnerable communities in Kenya — through the power of play and creativity.
We strongly believe that play is not a luxury, but an essential tool for learning, self-expression, and emotional healing. Through LEGO workshops, children don’t just build objects — they learn to collaborate, think creatively, gain confidence, and dare to dream.
So far, LEGO bricks have reached over 100 children.
More than 60 kg of LEGO bricks and over 30 brand-new LEGO sets have been donated, and the project is now in its third year of implementation.
Since the beginning of 2026, two LEGO workshops have been organized, during which children actively participated, worked in teams, and experienced moments of genuine joy, focus, and creativity.
For many of them, this was their very first structured play experience, in a safe environment where they were encouraged to create freely and intuitively, and to express themselves without fear.
It was also their first encounter with LEGO bricks — a globally renowned brand that, until that moment, meant absolutely nothing in their lives.
Beyond names or reputation, LEGO became for them a tool for discovery, learning, and joy — a gateway to imagination, confidence, and hope.
Because sometimes, a single brick can mean:
In communities where access to educational resources is limited, experiences like these can create real and lasting change.
How You Can Help
LEGO for Africa is a recurring project that continues thanks to you — with the support of sponsors and people who believe in our mission.
Every donation matters. Every brick builds a story.
Every gesture brings a child closer to a better future.
Together, we can build more than games.
We can build a brighter, safer, and more hopeful future.
Become a sponsor to support a child to go to school!
By sponsoring a child here in Kenya, this will not only give him a
chance to go to school and study, but also provide him with two meals a
day, uniforms and books.
Together with their families, communities and people with special
expertise, we help children to discover, develop and use their talents,
in order to give them a better future.
Give one child the confidence, courage and life skills to become
greater than poverty.
Become a sponsor for one child, paying his studies for one year and
offer him the chance to have acces to a proper education and easy
community integration.
