Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for PIFTA.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. You'll also be helping a great cause because I know from first hand experience of just how little can go so far and have a huge impact on somebody's life in The Gambia. I love being apart of the charity because I get to see how we are truly improving so many peoples lives. The child's wellbeing sponsorship scheme is a great way to give a deprived child a whole years education, including their exam fees, uniform, stationary, books and lunchs, and it only costs between £30 - £60 a year; such a small amount compared to giving them an opportunity to escape poverty. Incredibly, we managed to fund 187 years of education for some of poorest children within the villages. We would love to be able to continue helping with their education, and we hope to one day be able to help these students with further education.

Over the years, we have been helping numerous needy people including helping people start their own business, donating 50kg bags of rice and distributing donated goods and clothing. In addition, we often take families out for the day, as well as helping a disabled community with the donation of needy equipment such as wheelchairs from the UK. 

There are so many projects which we would to take on, but really can't do it without the generosity of our friends and family. We've already touched and helped so many people and we would love to continue our work.

So please dig deep and donate today :)
