Hi everyone! My name is Bubacarr Jallow , and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.

GambiaRising

GambiaRising helps low-income Gambians to better themselves through their own work - primarily through scholarships and financial assistance to Gambian students, especially girls, who otherwise might not be able to stay in school. We work in all regions of the country, but with a focus on remote rural regions, with all ages of students, without regard to religion, gender, or tribal background. Our only criteria are character and need, and the amount of difference that our support will make in recipients' lives. Where the absence of a school was the main barrier to education, we have also funded construction of 5 rural schools, usually by providing materials for a village to build its own school. All staff are volunteers, so that 100% of donations directly support students.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.
