THE LINK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT www.lcd.org.uk

The project started as a small Cambridge University studnet society called LINK AFRICA in 1989. In 1995 the charity was formally established in both the UK and South Africa, followed by LCD Ghana, LCD Uganda and LCD Malawi.

In 10 years the LCD was worked with over 15000 schools, helping over half a million children get a better education.

The Global Teachers Programme is made possible by funding from the HSBC Education Trust and is also supported by DflD, DfES, the Scottish Executive and others. Details of the scheme are described in a pdf document - find this via search engine "Global Teachers".

Patrons are the very reverend Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and Prof Sir Hans Kornberg FRS
