Our Programs
Linley Foundation began over 15 years ago by sponsoring educational programs in northeast Brazil. Projects included emergency housing, school infrastructure improvements, collaboration on a new health clinic, and a scholarship program for young adults to prepare them for the workplace. We also completed a number of animal rights projects. Our goals were to improve the lives of the animals themselves, but also as a way to teach children and their communities the importance of extending their personal circle of compassion to other sentient creatures.
