Essential Support for Families
Additionally, we understand that many families in The Gambia face significant financial challenges. To ensure that students can continue their education without worrying about their family’s basic needs, we will be providing food and other essential support to the families of students attending the school. This will help alleviate some of the financial burden on parents and enable them and their children to focus on their child’s education and their future. Your generous support will empower children, create opportunities, and break the cycle of poverty through education.
