Aidlink

About This Business

Aidlink is an Irish charity that has been working tirelessly since 1982 to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities in Africa, particularly in Kenya, Uganda, and Ghana. With a strong focus on education, empowerment, and enabling communities to become leaders of their own development, Aidlink has evolved over the years from a voluntary organization to a committed team of staff based in Dublin, investing in long-term, sustainable development programs. The charity's mission is to support people, especially women and girls, living in the poorest communities in Africa, to achieve healthy and fulfilling lives. Through a unique partnership model with African community-based NGOs, Aidlink delivers life-changing education, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), and other essential services. With a small but significant impact, Aidlink has supported numerous children with school feeding, enabled public primary schools to become more child-friendly and gender-sensitive, and provided access to cleaner, safer water for thousands of people in Kenya and Uganda. As a testament to its commitment, Aidlink has launched a strategic plan for 2023-2027, outlining its vision for the future and its dedication to tackling critical issues such as early marriage and promoting education for all. By donating to Aidlink or becoming a friend of the charity, individuals can contribute to the empowerment of communities and the improvement of lives in Africa. With its rich history, dedicated team, and unwavering commitment to its mission, Aidlink continues to make a significant difference in the lives of those it serves.
