On the ground experience

Unlike many other sponsorship schemes, our scheme concentrates on just one country; Ethiopia.

Link Ethiopia has been working with partners in Ethiopia for over a decade to improve the education for young people. We therefore have a wealth of specialist knowledge and understanding about the problems facing children in Ethiopia and the solutions to help them.

Link Ethiopia manages your donation directly and does not pass it onto other agencies. Our staff in Ethiopia are made up of members of the local community who have years of experience with the education system and development projects.

Low overheads

Link Ethiopia prides itself on keeping administrative costs down to an absolute minimum so that more of your donation goes where it is needed: helping improve the lives of disadvantaged children. In the UK we have only one full-time salaried member of staff, with most of our team made up of hard-working volunteers. In all aspects of our work, we ensure your donation is used as effectively as possible.

A chance to forge a relationship with a child and learn about Ethiopia’s fascinating culture

Many of our donors have found sponsorship to be an extremely rewarding experience. Through exchanging letters and photos with their sponsor child they have created a strong bond and a real sense of the difference they are making in lives of the child and their community. At the same time, sponsoring a child is an illuminating way to learn about this fascinating, ancient and unique country. A visit to meet your sponsored child and see their community firsthand can be the trip of a lifetime and a gateway into another world.
