About Us
World Links began in mid-1997 as an initiative of Mr. James D. Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank. In 1999, World Links spun off from the World Bank as an independent non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, USA. Since then, World Links has expanded to over 30 developing countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Central/Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, reaching over 560,000 youth in over 1,400 schools and telecenters.
World Links has created a comprehensive model that brings together all aspects of technology integration in an education system, in the understanding that to impact a crtical mass of youth, governments need a systemic approach.
Through the creation of public-private partnerships, World Links works with Ministries of Education to provide teacher professional development for teachers who, in turn, will impact youth by enhancing the quality of education they provide.
World Links has trained over 25,000 teachers in developing countries, building local capacity to use technology.
