We are delighted to announce that Africans In Fife has been awarded £750 from Fife Communities Climate Action Network and Fife Climate Hub SOUP Fund.

Our award will be dedicated to lunching our Africans in Fife Climate and Culture Kitchen. This will benefit the community by combining cultural heritage, healthy eating, and climate action in an engaging and practical way.

Participants will learn how to prepare sustainable, low-carbon versions of traditional African dishes using locally sourced organic ingredients, helping to reduce food miles and environmental issues impact.

The project will strengthen connections, reduce social isolation, and create opportunities for cultural exchange and community building. Sustainability discussions will ensure knowledge on reducing household energy use, cutting waste, and growing food locally, empowering African families in Fife to make environmentally conscious, healthy, and cost-effective lifestyle choices.

🚀 Building futures in tech and engineering! 🚀

We are incredibly proud to celebrate some of our high school students from the Africans in Fife community who just completed a brilliant one-week work experience placement at CGI in the UK

✨Please join us in celebrating this year's participants:• Emmanuel (Kirkcaldy)• Shannon (Dunfermline)• Esther (Dunfermline)This marks the second time leaders at our charity have fought to secure game-changing corporate placements for our youths. Following our inaugural 2024 partnership with Changeworks where some kids stepped into a professional environment for the first time—we are thrilled to keep expanding these horizons in 2026. 📈

Here is what Emmanuel (16) had to say about his time at CGI:

“This programme gave me an insight into what working in a professional office environment is like. It also helped me develop my teamwork skills and gave me a better understanding of the systems and processes behind the project we worked on. During the programme, we gained valuable knowledge of how technology supports project delivery.I am proud to say that this experience has given me a better understanding of what it's like to work as part of a professional project team. It has also inspired me to continue pursuing my interest in engineering and technology. Finally, I would like to thank the CGI team and the organisers of the programme for making this opportunity possible. I am also grateful to Africans in Fife for sharing the opportunity with the community. Without that, I might never have applied."

A massive thank you to the team at in the uk for opening your doors, investing in our youths, and inspiring the next generation of tech leaders!

Another incredible week at the tracks! We are continuously blown away by our riders, with at least one person hitting a "Most Improved" milestone every single week.

🎉A special shoutout goes to our biggest success story yet: a complete beginner who went from never cycling before to pedalling confidently within just 30minutes of arriving! Absolutely amazing work.

Thank you, Praise, for inspiring other adults in the Fife community to take up cycling. And as always, a huge thanks to our fantastic coaching team Fife Cycle Speedway👏
