Link Ethiopia
 United Kingdom  |  Children/Education

To provide access to quality education for children aged 7-18 in the Gonder region of Northern Ethiopia, with the broader aim of empowering people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty, and to foster positive communication and interaction between people of different cultures in order to raise awareness of similarities, shared goals and our global interdependence.

We set up, support and help manage links between U.K. schools and schools in Northern Ethiopia, in both the primary and secondary sectors. The core value of our system of links is one of equal partnership and shared learning. By encouraging young people to communicate and work together, we aim to create a real awareness not only of the diversity that exists between them but also of their shared aims and ambitions in a global community. We fully support schools in every aspect of the link, encouraging them to engage in a range of joint learning activities, with the aim of building a successful, productive, long-term partnership. We also offer three-month Gap Ethiopia teaching placements to pre-university students. Many of the schools we work with in Ethiopia are severely under-resourced. We therefore aim to assist schools in identifying, implementing and managing projects to improve the quality of the schooling they offer. This may involve basic necessities such as clean running water, adequate classrooms, the training of teachers in computer skills, or the management of libraries in larger schools.
