Kitchen Aid - (for Gunjur Kitchen)

Organised by Dance2Learn

We are so used to simply buying another when something breaks in the kitchen. In The Gambia, one of the poorest countries in the World, these items are prized and can mean the difference between eating and not, yet they are, comparatively, expensive.

www.Dance2Learn.org was set up in 2007 by Mei Catherall as a charitable company under the umbrella of www.iSource.org.uk to raise money to improve the school lives of the pupils at Jamisa Basic School in Brikama, Gambia whilst promoting dance and a feeling of community spirit here in the united Kingdom. This project has seen water & electricity brought in to the school and initiated a twinning with a school in the UK. We continued to support the growth of the library and were kept informed by the Deputy headmaster, Mr Badjie, on developments. With your help, the school has made tremendous leaps in the education league table in The Gambia. Since this initial project, D2L have been involved in helping the WHO to eradicate malaria through fund-raising to provide mosquito nets (and training as to their proper use) to Africa where a child dies every 35.8 seconds from this preventable disease. Our latest project is to provide WakaWaka Solar Lighting to students and needy, working with "The Gunjur Project" so that they are able to carry on the good work.

Story

In conjunction with The Gunjur Project, we are currently developing the community hub that will include a library and an It room and a community kitchen where the women can make the most of the vegetables they grow, thereby improving food security.

Even the most basic kitchen equipment is costly there but it would mean that the local people would be able to preserve some of the glut they have during certain seasons for times where there is less available, making the people more independent and encouraging forward planning.

£5-10 provides a cooking pot

£10-20 provides cooking implements

£30 provides a quantity of preserving jars

As the saying goes: "Every little helps!"

Help us to help them to help themselves.
