Basic Foundations helps organisations and community groups in low income countries get the basic necessities required to provide sanitation, shelter, health, water, food and education effectively within their communities. We are now fundraising for the Gambian garden for people with disabilities.

Story

<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Disabled people in the Gambia have nothing and the community believes they can do nothing. They are unable to get a good education or job and have to resort to begging to survive. By building a garden for the disabled group in rural Gambia, we will give people with disabilities there the chance to feed themselves, learn new skills, gain an income and prove to the community that disability does not mean inability.</span></strong></p> </span></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span>1 year ago I could just about run 5km in Engalnd when it was cold. One year and no exercise later, I'm going to try and do it in The Gambia where it's about 40 degrees and 80% humidity! Please make the pain and sweat worth it and sponsor me to support Basic Foundations' latest project, the garden for disabled people.
