Our work

Building skills, opportunity and stronger communities.

Nuru works across connected areas that support people and communities to learn, participate, build livelihoods and create more inclusive opportunities.

What we focus on

Our work responds to the realities communities face.

Nuru’s areas of focus are connected. Education can strengthen opportunity. Skills can support livelihoods. Economic participation can strengthen households. Inclusion helps ensure more people can take part in community development.

As the organisation grows, individual programmes sit within these focus areas and have their own pages with clear information about their purpose, activities and progress.
