About
The Link was established in 1978 by a group of Minchinhampton (Gloucestershire) residents to support Nkokoto. Nkokoto is a rural, isolated village in the Tabora District of north west Tanzania. Families here live in subsistence conditions, on or below the poverty line. The nearest town is Urambo and it is 600 miles to Dar es Salaam, the main city of the country.
Projects
All projects are suggested by the Nkokoto villagers in the key areas of;
1) Education. Currently 64 students in primary, secondary, vocational and further education.
2) Health. Support for clinics and clinical staff in Nkokoto and the nearby village of Uhuru.
3) Agriculture. Water boles holes, rain water harvesting tanks, machinery and livestock.
Donate
We are incredibly grateful to our supporters who make regular annual or monthly donations to support students throughout their education. One off donations are used to fund special projects. Our next project is the repair of 10 classrooms at the Nkokoto Primary school. Please Gift Aid your donation if you can. If you want to support us, send an email to nkokoto@yahoo.co.uk
Get Involved
The Link is run by volunteers from Minchinhampton and surrounding villages, so 100% of all donations go to implementing projects.
