Help us improve school facilities in The Gambia

Continuing the Work. Expanding the Impact.

In March 2026, we will be returning to The Gambia to continue building on the life changing work already delivered through this project.

What began as a mission to improve education and welfare has grown into an ongoing commitment to create sustainable, long term impact in schools and nurseries.


The Gambia remains one of the most economically challenged countries in Africa. Many schools continue to operate with limited facilities and resources, and there is still significant work to be done.

Our mission remains clear:

To improve the education, facilities and welfare of schools and nurseries in The Gambia — creating sustainable change for generations to come.

For March 2026, we are already in communication with our school contacts to identify where support is now most urgently required. Our focus is not short-term fixes, but practical improvements that create lasting impact.


On our last visit, your support enabled us to deliver the following life-changing projects:

-Install two boreholes, providing fresh water to schools serving over 3,700 students
-Construct a poultry farm with 200 chickens, enabling 2,500 students to learn farming skills while generating sustainable income for their school
-Fully furnish two home economics departments with sewing machines and cooking equipment to teach essential life skills
-Replenish a library with brand new books
-Renovate and restore a toilet block serving 1,200 children
-Demarcate a basketball court to improve sports facilities
-Install a smart TV in the school library to support research and modern learning

None of this would have been possible without your support.



Our Fundraising Goal – £5,000

Every penny donated will go directly to the schools and children in The Gambia. All travel, accommodation and personal expenses are fully self-funded, ensuring your contribution goes exactly where it is needed.
Together, we have already made a powerful difference.

Now, we go again to build further, reach further, and impact even more lives.

Thank you for being part of this journey!
