Children & Young People
Children and young people are at the heart of the Link.

Our work helps young people to:
Build confidence and leadership skills
Learn practical and life skills
Experience outdoor adventure
Build positive relationships
Develop hope for the future
Education & Training
Learning from one another
Education has always been an important part of the Durham Lesotho Link.

We believe this is about more than teaching. It is about learning together and discovering what we can learn from one another.

School and education partnerships

Partnership in Action
One relationship. Many possibilities.
Over more than four decades, the Link has supported projects in education, youth development, health, the environment, community development and outdoor adventure.
The projects may change, but the purpose remains the same:
Working together to create lasting opportunities.
The Lesotho Durham Link at Maqalika Dam provides a place where many of these relationships can continue to grow, welcoming groups and visitors from around the world.

The difference is in the relationships
The impact of the Link is about more than projects and numbers.
It can be seen in:
A child discovering a new opportunity.
A young person learning a new skill.
A church seeing faith from a different perspective.
A school building a lasting friendship.
A visitor arriving as a stranger and leaving with new connections.
These relationships are what make the Durham Lesotho Link special.
A partnership is not simply about what we accomplish. It is about what we become when we do it together.
