Your Sponsorship At Work

Taken from a Link Community Development leaflet:

Rosina walks three miles to a roofless school each day. She sits on the floor to study. Some of her 84 classmates are lucky and use a stone for a desk. The teacher is under-trained and has only five text books to share amongst the class.

Link can't make Rosina's walk to school any shorter but we can make it more worthwile. Here's how your money can help:

  • ₤10 can pay for a desk for Rosina
  • ₤20 can pay for literacy training for two teachers. Literacy will provide Rosina with an essential skill and a better chance of a job when she leaves school.
  • ₤50 can pay for five of the teachers in Rosina's school to attend an HIV/AIDS training session. Education remains one of the most powerful weapons society has against a disease which has orphaned nearly two million children in Ghana, Uganda and South Africa.
  • ₤100 can give 10 community members fundraising training. These skills will enable the community to support the school's development far into the future.

Thank you for giving children a chance.
