Afri Twin is an international school linking initiative that facilitates mutually beneficial partnerships between students and teachers at schools in the United Kingdom and South Africa.[1][2] It was founded in 2001 by Jayne Martin, a South African then living in the United Kingdom who has since returned to South Africa.[3][4] Afri Twin provides support for the programme by matching schools with suitable partners, providing guidance to participating schools and arranging workshops and other networking events.[1] The benefits of Afri Twin partnerships include global learning, greater cultural tolerance and the improvement of learning facilities in disadvantaged schools.[2][4] In 2010, there were over 250 schools in the United Kingdom and South Africa participating in the initiative.[1]
