Who We Are

Jane Wangari Njuru is currently pursuing a PhD in Public Policy and Administration. She holds a Masters degree in Public Policy from American University, Washington, DC and a BA in International Relations from the United States International University, Africa. She is the Executive Director (Volunteer)of Links Africa. Prior to this, she worked as a Project Director at the Regional Development Center for Gender Empowerment RDGCE - Kenya for five years before leaving for the USA to pursue further studies.

Given the demands of today's knowledge based economy, Jane is of the view that post-primary school education is absolutely essential in the fight against poverty. It is in this context that she co-founded Links Africa in order to help less privileged children access secondary education in order to realize their full potential. She feels privileged to work with some of the most talented and hardworking poor children. It is her strong conviction that world peace in the future depends on how we treat the children today.

Wanjiku Gachugi is a graduate of American University, DC with a Masters degree in International Development and Gender Studies. She strongly believes that as a human being, an adult and a woman, it is her responsibility to help children realize their full potential. She says "I am after all who I am because of the many people who helped me reach and still helping me reach my full potential". Like the Xhosa said "I am because we are". She whole heartedly believes in that philosophy and for that reason she is fully committed to Links Africa and its mission.

She is proud to be a co-founder and realizes that its success lies with the dedication and support of volunteers, contributors and organizations working in partnership to encourage the young members of our society. Links Africa together with you, provides the opportunity for children, especially young girls, to go to school and eventually help them accomplish their hopes and dreams.
