Construction for Change is proud to support the Black leaders driving our mission forward and making a lasting impact. As we celebrate Black History Month, we reaffirm our commitment to choosing, supporting, and uplifting Black leaders because diversity creates stronger, more equitable, and more innovative solutions for the communities we serve.

CfC and Matibabu Foundation hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony in January to mark the opening of The Serenity Parlor, a new mortuary facility in Kenya. This vital space will ensure dignified end-of-life care through palliative services and home health visits, providing compassionate support for families during their most difficult moments. Beyond healthcare, this project is also about empowerment. The facility will offer programs to support widows through community gardens and fish farms - helping provide nutrition, food security, and sustainable entrepreneurial skills. Thank you to the teams in Africa for their dedication to this transformative work and their commitment to creating a lasting impact.

We're very excited for both Construction for Change and Action in Africa - these buildings will further the impactful work AIA is leading in Uganda.
