We are a team of architects and designers working in the town of Mbollet-ba, The Gambia to build a new early years school.

Our Global School, a global education charity, has been working alongside the teachers in Mbollet-ba for six years on an alternative education model that prioritises creativity, play and discovery. Our aim is to provide them with a space that supports teachers to raise a generation of empowered young people.

Creativity is at the heart of the project and we hope that by working alongside the community of Mbollet-ba we will not only achieve our goal of building a school but instil pride within everyone involved. For many of the UK team this will be their first construction project and a formative learning experience. For the local work force, most of whom are women, the project presents an opportunity for long term social and economic development.

The project will cost £20,000, all raised as a collective effort between our team and Our Global School. This last push is absolutely vital to reaching our target and achieving a world class facility that has a positive impact far beyond it's physical presence.
