Language Linkers

Language Linkers is a mother-daughter founded charity that offers online language lessons, educational support, and conversation sessions to refugees and asylum seekers all over the world. We deliver our lessons over various platforms, such as zoom, WhatsApp and even text message! This ensures that everyone can access our lessons and engage with the courses we offer. Accessibility is a key component of our mission, and online lessons allow the greatest outreach to refugees living in various time zones and circumstances. Many of the in-person lessons available to refugees inside refugee camps are overcrowded, with up to 25 students per teacher. There is no time or resources to adapt the material to the individual. By allowing teachers and students to work together from their homes with a flexible schedule, we create an environment that is safe and personal. This makes learning faster and more enjoyable. Our one-to-one lessons can truly transform a refugee’s circumstances by opening doors to employment, education and offering hope and friendship. We started this charity in June (2020) with a single student. To date we have over 160 teachers offering more than an accumulated 1000 hours of assistance per month. The number of existing students and those on a waiting lists amount to over 250. With your support we can continue to grow and meet the high demand for online language lessons. We live in a world of 80,000,000+ refugees, let’s work together to make their journeys as easy and joyous as they can be.
