Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Football Gambia is a small non-profit UK Charity, which promotes education through football in the Gambia (West Africa). They work with communities, football clubs academies and schools to ensure the children and youth attend school and live a healthy lifestyle.

Football Gambia is not just about football, the main goal is to develop communities to be more sustainable, and to ensure that children and young people from the Gambia get the highest quality life experiences before they reach adulthood.

They provide educational materials, text books, notepads, pencils etc to nurseries and schools, all over the country, providing the children with the 'right tools' to enhance their education. As a bonus, they also provide the children with quality football equipment and they receive professional football coaching.

They have previously renovated a medical centre, building a nursery, delivering Child Protection Training, developing schools curriculums, equipping a rural village with professionally dug water boreholes, robust pumps and hoses and developed an agricultural area to grow crops all year round.

They also work with local charities and focus on environmental issues like reducing the amount of smoke emissions and litter in communities, plus paper and plastic recycling.

Football Gambia do yearly trips to Gambia for volunteers to see where the money raised is spent. I am raising money for Football Gambia and hope to go out there in January 2014 to help with a range of Children and Young Peoples projects including; providing a varied programme of teacher training, football coaching, first aid training and school curriculum development to enhance the quality of services delivered to children and young people.

Please help me to raise £1000 so i can go and volunteer with Football Gambia.
