The aim in Gambia is to advance educational opportunities in remote rural locations. To this end, over the years, we have funded and enabled the establishment of nursery and infant schools; established a women’s literacy centre; provided funding for a borehole; facilitated the building of a new classroom and provided ongoing support and maintenance for these schools and enterprises as well as helping towards teachers’ salaries. We have visited for one week each year, providing direct help for the current project (whether it be building, painting or digging!) as well as spending time teaching and interacting with the children and reviewing and planning with Lamin and other adults who teach and facilitate.
The aims for the Withington participants are:
- To experience the culture of a West African country
- For the girls to be physically involved whilst in the country with organised activities to benefit the community
- To raise £5,000 – or more – per year
- Evaluate the progress of our projects, year-on-year
- For returning girls to continue their involvement and to hand over to the next cohort
- To use some funds raised to purchase locally made crafts to be sold back in the UK, benefiting Gambian craftspeople and entrepreneurs, and raising further funds for the projects
