We would like to thank everyone who has already donated and supported our charity.
Each month we donate a small amount of money to our teachers, which allows the children to attend our schools for free; we also supply the necessary equipment and materials, including tissues, disinfection and soap.
We desperately need funding and have decided to set up a “Once a Year Club”, we are asking for £12 a year, £1 a month, and would really appreciate your help. Hildred will be returning to Gambia shortly and will keep you updated with photos and the progress we are making.

In January of last year we had a fire in our store room which destroyed all our supplies and the building itself, we were devastated, we had no idea how we were going to replace all the items lost or where the money would come from to build a new store room.
But we did not imagine the support we would receive from family and friends. John Helm, Tracey and John contributed towards rebuilding the store room and through a Just Giving page, coffee morning and raffle you managed to raise a total of a staggering £1,070.
We would like to thank the following people and include everyone else who kindly donated or gave their time to help in replenishing our supplies which include, exercise books, pens, pencils, rulers and all school equipment, Janet Bruno, Victoria Kirk, Suzie & Andrew Brown, Jill Swift, Claire Cockcroft, Rachael Moore, Sandy Higgins, Sadie Ferriday, Mandy Forrest, sally Illingworth, Maggie De’Vries, Charlotte Taylon, Aurelie Noublanche, Francesca Craven and Sarah Willis, John Helm, Alan & Anne Sheriff. Thank you.
