Who We Are

WorldLink Associates began in 2001 in response to an opportunity to help the country of Morocco develop in the areas of micro-finance and rural telecommunications development. Our founder, Dr. Eric Crane, was working as a consultant on Morocco's third telecommunications license and he identified a need to develop telecommunications services in Morocco's rural areas. He traveled to Bangladesh to meet Dr. Muhamad Yunus, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. Dr. Crane was inspired by his life story and went back to Morocco to start a program known as Village Phone.
