The Nassau (Bahamas) Chapter was established in 1989 as the first international Chapter of The Links, Incorporated. The goal of The Links, Incorporated is to deliver and sustain programs that transform the lives of children, families, and communities that we serve through 5 program facets – Services to Youth, Services to The Arts, National Trends and Services, International Trends and Services, and Health and Human Services.
Over the years, the Nassau (Bahamas) Chapter has addressed the issues of childhood obesity, mental illness, heart health, and the high rates of breast cancer in The Bahamas. In addition, our Chapter built and operates The Links Safehouse, which provides accommodation for women in crisis (with or without children) and dormitory accommodation for young women engaged in tertiary education. We are currently renovating a new purpose-built dormitory facility that is expected to be completed later this year.
