Link Community Development (Link) is a family of organisations working to transform education for children and communities across impoverished rural areas of Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Rwanda and Uganda through innovative, low-cost and replicable models.
The Need for Our Work
Governments and schools rarely have access to accurate data to enable effective use of limited resources. We help build their capacity to improve data management and application.
Reading skills can break the cycle of poverty. Children whose mothers can read are 50% more likely to live past age five. Link develops programmes for communities in need across sub-Saharan Africa.
Weak school governance reduces community school ownership. Our School Performance Review gives citizens a voice, fostering a culture of transparency, trust and mutual accountability between communities and schools, enabling greater collective responsibility.
Teachers are key to learning but recieve little professional development or support. We provide high quality teacher training and mentoring.
Unsupportive cultural and societal norms exclude vulnerable children. We help education leadership develop and sustain inclusive practices.
Rural African Schools can be over-crowded, unsafe and unconducive to learning. We help schools become child-friendly through safe infrastructure, sanitation facilities and child protection policies.
