School works

We work closely with two Ugandan schools and their surrounding communities.

KATWE UNITED PRIMARY SCHOOL

We have worked closely with Katwe United for over 10 years. Katwe is an overcrowded industrial slum area where many families live in real poverty. Our own founder, John Njendahayo, began his educational life here.  Many young people from the UK have visited and worked at Katwe United through Link International Innovation. In the past, young people have raised money, taught in, and built an extra classroom for this small primary school. Since 2005 the pupils at Katwe United have welcomed the company and knowledge of our young people in their classrooms and in the playground as they have learnt through fun and interaction.    

KYAMBURA PRIMARY SCHOOL

As our neighbour at our National Park campsite, we have developed a special relationship with this school. A school of around 600 children of Primary age, with classes of up to 100 children, we always find an open door and huge welcome. Our young people run sports events, take classes in English, Maths and Music or simply spend time playing with them. The school draws us naturally into close friendships within this rural community. Indeed, our coffee project is also based here.
