Working with government and communities to improve the quality of education in sub-Saharan Africa.
Link England & Wales staff raise funds for our international programme work from a number of sources including statutory donors, trusts, individual supporters, school sponsors, linked schools and through a range of events. In the year ending 2009 income in England and Wales reached £1.1 million.
Our signature fundraising event is the Morocco / Prague Hitch, an annual hitch-hike organised in over 20 universities across the UK. Last year 1,190 Hitchers took part, raising an incredible £550,000 for Link.
Development Education
Link remains a leading organisation in the field of school partnerships. Our Link Schools Programme supports partnerships between schools in England/Wales and schools in Africa. By bringing a global dimension to teaching and learning, linking can enrich the curriculum. Our support for schools includes communication between schools, themed curriculum resources, reciprocal visits and opportunities for structured fundraising.
