Xavier Project

Xavier Project was founded by Edmund Page in 2008 after he volunteered at an informal school in Uganda, where he saw Congolese children who could not recognise ABC. He committed to sponsoring eight Congolese refugees through school in Kampala. The organisation now supports the formal and tertiary education of thousands of children and adult refugees across Kenya and Uganda through community-based partnerships and pioneering learning programmes. Its activities include improving access to quality education delivered in a safe space for refugee children, and sharing skills for community engagement and enterprise among refugees.

Xavier Project was founded by Edmund Page in 2008 as a result of his own experience of volunteering at an informal school in Uganda, where he witnessed Congolese children who could not recognise ABC. Following his trip, he committed to sponsoring eight Congolese refugees through school in Kampala. In 2009 Edmund travelled to Nairobi, Kenya and witnessed many refugee students out of school. In 2010 the first Enterprise initiative was started when Xavier Project helped some parents of the students start a fridge mending business.
