African Challenge Scotland

We are delighted to continue supporting aspiring young engineers in Glasgow and beyond.

Over the past few years, through the African Challenge Scotland STEAM programme, it has been a pleasure providing free tutoring to Nawfal Fadhil, helping him excel in his Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) exams and prepare for a career in engineering.

We are thrilled to announce that Nawfal has secured a civil engineering apprenticeship with Stantec! He is now beginning an exciting new chapter—balancing technical work at Stantec with his studies at the prestigious University of Strathclyde.

Congratulations, Nawfal! 🚀

Delighted to participate and host a stall at the Springburn Street Festival alongside other local organisations.

The event was a great success, with an excellent turnout, highlighting the strength of community cohesion and our shared commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity.

We were proud to provide a free BBQ featuring authentic African flavours and seasonings. Our stall was very popular, giving attendees the opportunity to experience and enjoy African cuisine.

A special thank you to Spirit of Springburn, Ivan McKee MSP, Paul Sweeney MSP, Councillor Graham Campbell, Maureen Burke MP, local organisations, community groups, and everyone who helped make the day such a success.

Together, we continue to build a stronger and more connected community.
