World Links Zimbabwe

World Links began in mid-1997 as an initiative of 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. 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 integrates all aspects of technology into the education system. Through the creation of public-private partnerships, World Links works with Ministries of Education to provide programs that show teachers how to integrate technology into their lessons. The teachers, in turn, will impact youth by enhancing the quality of education they provide.

Close the Gap has a dedicated partnership with World Links in Zimbabwe for which it shipped 300 computers in 2010.
