Community-Led Transformation

Asset Based Community Development Model (ABCD Model)

Vision

Community-led transformation in Uganda is a channel for Link International’s charitable objectives. This ABCD Model advances the charity’s work of relieving sickness and financial hardship, promoting health, and advancing education through four interconnected initiatives. Each initiative fosters dignity for beneficiaries, ownership by the community, and transformational impact on local well-being. The Presentation below outlines the programme.

Julius summarises:

“The vision paints a compelling picture of community-driven change: healthy children ready to learn, schools equipped to deliver quality education, youths gaining skills for a better future, and citizens uniting to improve their own villages. It’s an inspiring yet practical blueprint that mirrors Link International’s mission and values every step of the way delivering measurable improvements in health, education, and income, while empowering Ugandans to become authors of their own development story".

Pilot Project

Project: Classroom in a box

Location: Mpigi

REACH: 5 schools (500 children)

Time-scale: 12 months

Budget: £2,400.00

The project scope is short-term, but high impact, in order to achieve a positive outcome for the children and schools, but also to enable the team to gain experience working in a community, assessing other community assets and gaining the confidence of the community to explore other areas of development.

The Budget supports:

• 21 Box kits

• Travel and time allowances for 2 trainers

• Julius training the trainers

• Teacher Training Day

• Assessment (materials and data collection)

An example of classroom/school in a box can be seen here on the UNICEF website.

This pilot project would source appropriate materials in Uganda and select a box suitable for the purpose - we will be looking for sponsor schools in UK for the boxes (£50 per filled box)
