Help Build a Brighter Future for Children in Kembujeh, The Gambia
My name is Alieu Fatty, and I come from Kembujeh, a small village nestled in the heart of The Gambia—fondly known as the Smiling Coast of Africa. Raised in a traditional community where culture and heritage are deeply rooted in daily life, I completed my entire education—from primary through secondary school—right here in Kembujeh.
Today, I carry a burning passion: to ensure every child in my village has the chance to learn, grow, and dream without limits.

Why This Project Matters Deeply to Me
Education transformed my life. It gave me the ability to read, write, communicate with confidence, and build a meaningful career. Without it, I would not be the person I am today. Sadly, for many children in my village, The Gambia, this life-changing gift is simply out of reach.
In Kembujeh, many families cannot afford to send their children to school. I've spoken to teachers who shared heartbreaking stories—classrooms without enough pencils, books, or even writing paper. Children discouraged by poverty, dropping out long before they’ve had a real chance. These are not just numbers or statistics. These are our children, our future doctors, teachers, and leaders—losing hope far too soon.
And that breaks my heart.
But instead of turning a blind eye, I’ve chosen to act. I have chosen to make a difference to my community by raising funds.

What Your Donation Will Do
Your generous support will directly provide:
⦁ School supplies like books, pencils, pens, and teaching materials.
⦁ Library books to fuel imagination and literacy.
⦁ Provide assistance for school uniforms for children in need
⦁ Support for children whose families simply cannot afford education
Every single penny raised will go toward giving these children the tools they need to succeed. And you’ll see exactly where your money goes—we’ll send monthly updates with stories, photos, and the real impact of your contribution.

Together, We Can Break the Cycle
I believe poverty should never determine a child's destiny. Just because a child is born into hardship doesn't mean they should stay there. By investing in education, we are tearing down barriers and building bridges to brighter futures—one child, one classroom, one dream at a time.

From My Heart to Yours
Whether your donation is large or small, please know that you are changing lives. You are giving hope. You are helping to uplift a whole community. And for that, I thank you—from the bottom of my heart.

Let’s rewrite the story for Kembujeh’s children—together.
