About
Barawak is a charity organisation founded to support African, Caribbean and minority communities in the UK. We provide essential services to single parents and young people, helping them to make their lives more secure and have access to the resources they need.
Our organisation provides a variety of services, including education and training, counselling, and career guidance. We are passionate about creating a better future for those who are disadvantaged, and it is our mission to help our community reach their full potential.
We believe that everyone should have access to the same opportunities, regardless of their race or background. That’s why we’re committed to being a voice for those who need it most and providing a platform for people to come together and celebrate their shared culture.

Our Mission
To relieve the poverty of persons and families of African and Caribbean descent who mainly, but not exclusively, are Afro-Hebrew and who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress, by providing those items of food, toiletries and other goods and services such a person or family may need in ways that the trustees from time-to-time deem fit.
Our Vision
A thriving community of Afro-Hebrews and minorities that has access to opportunities and resources that empower them to overcome socio-economic challenges and contribute to wider society.
Our Purpose
Barawak is a community organisation that was initially established to support individuals and families from African and Caribbean backgrounds who follow Hebrew customs from Ancient Africa. The organisation was founded upon three core principles outlined in these customs:
