We’re excited to share a new Impact Project that Conduit Collaborative has been privileged to develop alongside Voices Awake, an inspiring organization equipping girls in Malawi with the skills to build brighter futures through holistic, trauma-informed programs.

Together, we’ve been designing a safe, beautiful, and purpose-built girls’ high school campus—one envisioned to become among Malawi’s finest educational facilities.

With architectural plans nearly complete, Voices Awake is preparing to fundraise and bring this vision to life!

Two members of our Conduit team, Josh and Yididiya, recently had the privilege of attending the dedication ceremony for YouthPromise Centre Kenya’s new Youth Training Center.

Having helped design and develop this Impact Project, it was especially meaningful for Josh and Yididiya to see the center come to life. It will provide a place where young people in Embu can access technology training, mentorship, and opportunities for a brighter future.

We’re grateful to partner with organizations like YouthPromise Kenya and excited to see how this thoughtfully designed space will serve and strengthen the community for years to come.

The Conduit Collaborative Bathroom Block Impact Project at Vision School in Karra, Ethiopia, is nearing completion!

has managed this project from concept to construction and was on-site last weekend helping put the finishing touches on the facility.

The new bathroom block replaces an aging pit latrine with a safe, sanitary, and thoughtfully designed space that reflects the dignity and value of every student and staff member at Vision School.

Designed and sponsored by Conduit and funded through the partnership of Conduit and Church Architects, this project is a powerful reminder that thoughtful design can create lasting impact.

A memorable moment from recent visit to Raey School in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Chris was warmly greeted by the students of Raey School—a community that continues to inspire us with its joy, resilience, and hope for the future.

Over the years, Conduit Collaborative has partnered with Raey School on several impact projects, including a new bathroom building, kitchen facility, and additional classroom space. These improvements help create a safer, healthier, and more supportive environment where students can learn and thrive.

Moments like this remind us that impact is about more than buildings—it's about people, relationships, and investing in opportunities that can change lives for generations.

Thank you to the students, teachers, and leaders of Raey School for your warm hospitality and continued partnership. We are honored to be part of your story.

It’s a rare and meaningful opportunity for our team to all be together in person, as most of our design and architecture work happens remotely across the globe.

A few weeks ago, while was in Ethiopia, our team gathered for a staff retreat day filled with reflection, celebration, great food, games, and time together on the lake.

As architects and designers, we spend much of our time collaborating across distances — shaping projects and designing spaces that serve communities around the world. This retreat was a chance to celebrate the past year’s accomplishments, strengthen relationships within our team, and invest in the people behind the work.

We’re incredibly thankful for this talented team and the meaningful work we get to do together through Conduit Collaborative.

What a joy it was to see the new kitchen facility for Raey School in Addis Ababa nearing completion during ’s recent visit to Ethiopia.

This Conduit Impact Project is in the final stages of construction and interior fit-out, preparing to serve two meals a day to more than 360 students who attend Raey School.

The new kitchen is a major upgrade from the previous facility, which relied heavily on charcoal cooking with little to no ventilation — creating an unhealthy environment for the women faithfully preparing meals each day.

This new space will be a tremendous gift to the school, providing a safer, healthier, and more efficient environment to serve students for years to come.

A few weeks ago, the Conduit team was on the ground in Kaffa, Ethiopia, working on an Impact Project for Vision School.

More than 300 students have been sharing a single tin-roof pit latrine in desperate need of repair. In response, our team designed a new bathroom facility that will provide a safe, sanitary, and dignified space for the students and school community.

Our team stepped directly into the construction process — helping move the project forward as foundations were completed and walls began to rise for the new facility.

This project not only creates a meaningful impact but also gives our team valuable hands-on experience that strengthens the way we design and build every day.

We’re incredibly thankful for the opportunity to serve alongside this community and can’t wait to see the completed building bless Vision School for years to come.

Vision School - Keffa, Ethiopia: Day 1 Recap

Today some of the Conduit team traveled the Keffa region of Ethiopia to help build some parts of the new bathroom building we designed for Vision School; A school that serves 400 students per week from K-8th grade. (Picture #4 is a rendering of what the finished project will look like). We took a car, plane, second car, mini bus and Tuk Tuk to get there! It was quite the journey but 100% worth it.

Follow along this weekend to see this beautiful and important building take shape.

We are so thankful Chris has the opportunity to be in Kenya and Ethiopia the next 10 days! Follow along to keep up with what he and the team will be up to!

Day one of the trip started in Narobi visiting with a ministry called Untold ( ) that serves people with HIV/AIDS across several countries in Africa. They are an amazing ministry! Please give them a follow to learn more about their incredible life-changing work.

It’s always great to meet new organizations that are doing amazing Kingdom work around the world.
