The Vessel UK is a unique, international programme where young people from the UK are connected with their peers from partner organisations across Africa. Our young people collaborate, connect, learn and share their skills, creating a powerful alumni of young leaders. Participants facilitate ethical and socially responsible projects developed through active research, skill sharing, and the application of lived experiences with partners in Tanzania, Kenya, The Gambia, and now Namibia.
