Your building partner

Trusted locally, proven globally

 

Building high-quality hospitals, schools and homes in the hardest to reach places is vital - but never simple. For international NGOs, delivering these life-changing projects in remote or disaster-prone areas can come with significant risk, from lack of local contacts to spiralling costs and uncertainty around delivery.

That’s where Article 25 comes in.

As the UK’s leading humanitarian architectural NGO, we’ve successfully delivered over 100 projects in 35 countries. From earthquake zones to hard-to-reach communities, we bring the expertise, local knowledge, and trusted networks needed to manage construction projects end-to-end - with quality, transparency and impact at the core.

“Article 25 and their partners can’t be rivalled by any other construction team I have worked with, and we’ve now worked with them on three separate healthcare projects.”

Vice President, Operation Smile Morocco

 

Why partner with Article 25?

NGOs around the world trust us to manage construction projects in even the most complex environments. Partnering with Article 25 means gaining a long-term ally that shares your mission - and has the track record to back it up. We speak the language - of architecture, of compliance, and of community.

We offer:

  • Project management from concept to completion

  • In-country teams and deep local networks

  • Risk reduction strategies tailored to the context

  • Sustainable and climate-positive design

  • Affordability without compromise

What makes us different?

Maximum value for every budget

As a not-for-profit, we’re driven by impact – not income. Our charity status helps unlock pro bono support and reduces your costs, often adding over £100k of pro-bono professional expertise to each project.

Local knowledge, global reach

We build lasting partnerships on the ground – hiring local contractors, upskilling communities, and designing with deep cultural and environmental understanding.

A team that you can trust

Our architects, engineers, and project managers have 20 years’ experience in humanitarian design. We work only with reputable partners and keep a clear line of sight on every pound spent.

Article 25 delivers to the standard needed for healthcare in the 21st century. We value the technical skill they bring to the process; this was essential in Nepal where we are building on the side of a mountain in an earthquake zone.”

How we work

 
 

A shared mission

We partner with NGOs who share our commitment to building life-changing hospitals, schools and homes in the communities that need them most. Your vision becomes ours - delivered with care and purpose.

End-to-end delivery

From community engagement and climate-smart design to sourcing trusted contractors and managing the build, we take care of the entire project lifecycle - so you don’t have to.

 
 

Sustainable by design

Our buildings are designed to last - environmentally, economically, and socially. We train local workers and prioritise passive design and off-grid solutions to ensure long-term impact.

Built for challenging contexts

From disaster-prone areas to hard-to-reach locations, our team brings deep construction expertise to projects that others might consider too risky or remote.

 
 
 

Risk reduction

We specialise in getting complex projects over the line - on time and on budget. You can count on us to deliver in even the toughest conditions and most challenging environments

Not-for-profit, high value

We operate on a not-for-profit basis, helping NGOs stretch the budgets further without compromising on quality. It’s architecture that’s both cost-effective and world-class.

We understand your challenges

You need a partner that can:

  • Navigate risk and uncertainty

  • Deliver in unfamiliar markets

  • Stretch tight budgets further

  • Understand compliance and governance

  • Achieve real, lasting community impact

That’s exactly what we do.

Let’s build better futures, together

If you're planning a new hospital, school, or housing project and need a partner with on-the-ground knowledge and global architectural expertise, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to discuss your next project with our team.
