SAFE was established by students at Cambridge University to provide financial support to NGOs (non-governmental organisations) and charities working in Southern Africa to promote education.

The strength of the scheme lies in its sustainability - in some Cambridge colleges students automatically contribute via the college bill system. It is also a valuable chance for students to get involved in development work as they administer college SAFE funds to NGOs.

CUSAFE coordinates the 16 college schemes in Cambridge and aims to sustain and promote SAFE in the university. If you would like to get involved please contact us
