Links Africa Hub Gets Its First Partner Visit
July 1, 2024
As our Links Africa Hub in Kenya develops, we hope that it will grow into a place for our partners to come, see and share holistic solutions to confronting poverty. Agriculture is one of these areas we want to develop such interventions.
In June, one of our Malawian partners, Luwani from Seeds of Promise, was in Kenya on a training course with some of their students. Amazingly, their training was in the same county as our hub, so we invited him to stay with us for a week.
To have a partner visit so early on to our new hub was really encouraging.
Luwani was brilliant in sharing his agricultural skills and sustainable farming ethos with our team at the site. At the hub, we have a plot similar size to many small-scale farmers, so we need to be creative and innovative with the practices and methods used.
Composting is vital to feeding the soil, whereas fertilisers only feed the seed planted. Luwani and the site staff worked together to create a thermal composting area where we can utilise the manure from our cattle and kitchen waste to layer up some good fertile soil.
We hope to continue and develop more sustainable farming techniques to showcase with our partners how to farm both effectively and responsibly. The farm is also helping to reduce costs as the produce is being used to feed our 8-10 workers on site, with any surplus being sold.
Something Exciting is Coming!

Very soon, we'll be launching our new appeal focused on business, sustainability and enterprise - bringing together our incredible UK business partners with our dedicated partners around the world who are equipping people with the skills, training and opportunities they need to build brighter, more sustainable futures.

Partnering with the Local Church for Global Impact
July 1, 2026
Every so often, we get a moment to step back and join with close friends and partners to see the bigger story we’re part of. Links Sundays with our Church partners is one of those moments. It reminds us that mission isn’t something a few specialists do 'over there', it’s the calling of the whole Church, the whole people of God, joining His work of restoring shalom on earth as in Heaven.

Every few years the world pauses to watch something extraordinary. Flags wave, anthems rise and nations pour onto the global stage in a celebration of colour, culture and collective hope. The World Cup becomes a glimpse of what happens when tribes, tongues and nations gather around a shared purpose.
