Schools Linking Programme
Our Schools Linking Programme has been partnering schools from Northern Uganda and the UK since 2006.
We have a multilevel programme that consists of 3 types of links. These are a Focal Schools Link, a Virtual Schools Link and a Basic Schools Link.
Focal Schools Link
Our Focal Schools Link works by linking a UK school with a Ugandan school in the Focal Schools Programme. We currently have 6 schools in the UK linked with each of our 6 Ugandan Focal Schools. As part of the link, the UK school receives a communication from their Ugandan partner every term and can also participate in a teacher exchange programme.
Focal School Links cost £300 per annum and the UK school is also invited to fundraise £350 for their Ugandan partner each year.
Virtual Focal Schools Link
Our Virtual Schools Link has been designed to link numerous UK schools with the 6 Ugandan schools in the Focal Schools Programme. The UK schools receive themed packs twice a year to fit within the global curriculum. The huge benefit of the Virtual Focal Schools Link is that the funding received from many UK links can be directed into the 6 Ugandan schools to make a larger overall impact.
UK schools pay £150 per annum for their Virtual Focal Schools Link and are invited to raise £350 for their Ugandan partner.
Basic Schools Link
Basic Schools Links are for schools that have a strong existing link with a Ugandan school from a previous Schools Linking Programme. The UK school maintains the link themselves corresponding directly with their Ugandan school.
Schools pay £225 per annum for their Basic Schools Link and are invited to raise £350 for their Ugandan partner.
