About Harambee Club 

Harambee is a Swahili word which means collaboration and working together, and at Harambee Club that’s exactly what we do! 

Harambee Club is a weekly homework club focussed on supporting children and young people from newly arrived communities, with a particular focus on those from African backgrounds. 

More than just a homework club, Harambee Club is about placemaking and community connections, whilst also building confidence in young people and their families to approach literacy and learning!
