Aidlink has a vision of a world that recognises the dignity of each individual person having the right, the duty and the means of self and community development. Operating in Africa since 1982, they work through their partnership model, providing direct support to local NGOs in Kenya, Uganda and Ghana. Their development programme focuses on reaching some of the world’s poorest communities, delivering life-changing improvements in the areas of WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene), Educational Environments, Health and Agriculture.

In 2015 they reached 15,500 people with improved access to water and sanitation, 18,000 children benefited from their primary school WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) initiatives, over 50,000 people now live with improved access to community healthcare in Uganda and our health programme in Kenya served a catchment of 300,000 people.

Partnerships

Aidlink works with 6 NGO development organisations based in Uganda, Kenya and Ghana. They believe that local communities and local organisations are best placed to manage their own development. Partnership for Aidlink means “A shared vision and commitment to work together to bring about real and sustainable benefit and change to the poor and marginalised.”
