Passport to Education

Our challenge is to improve the quality of teaching and learning that children receive in the classroom in sub-Saharan Africa. Passport to Education takes you on a fundraising journey to help us to do just that. We ask you to raise a minimum of £/€/$250 – not all in one go, but over the course of a year. During the year we provide you with resources to contextualise your giving and to provide a platform to tackle complex issues in the classroom. Each resource will explore a different theme or country. We also provide ideas and support to help you maximise your fundraising. Each step along the journey comes with a stamp to stick in your Passport and showcase your giving and learning achievements.

Why not use your involvement in our Campaign to showcase your learner's spiritual, moral, social and cultural education achievements! With Passport to Education its easy! Click here to find out how!

Passport to Education has been designed as a flexible framework that you can build on to meet your needs, so it is open to organisations, schools or individuals alike. Becuase of Link's history and experiences with school linking, many of our members are schools, led by a particular teacher or class or involving the whole school in the challenge. But the platform also works well for youth groups, after school clubs, scout groups, church groups, parents clubs etc etc. Just contact us if you want to find out more.

To join today and begin your giving and learning journey, just complete and return our online application form and pay your initial £/€/$50 donation (see below for how to pay). As soon as we receive these, we’ll send you your Passport to Education Welcome Pack so that you can get started!

We then ask that you commit to raising a minimum of £/€/$200 over the course of one year. The full £/€/$200 donation will go directly to our project-work in Africa. For every additional pound you raise, 80c/p will go directly to our project work. As you work towards your target, you will receive award stamps to display on your passport as well as bronze, silver and gold stamps for exceptional fundraising achievements!
