How You Can Help?

Together, We’re Helping Children Thrive

Every day at Afrikaya Nursery School, children in The Gambia are learning, laughing, eating nutritious meals, and building the foundations for a better future. None of this would be possible without people like you.

Your support doesn’t just fund a school — it changes lives, one child at a time.

 Ways You Can Make a Difference

  • Donate — Make an Immediate Impact

Your gift helps provide:

• A healthy meal each school day

• Safe classrooms and learning materials

• Trained teachers who nurture and inspire

• Healthcare and wellbeing support

Every pound truly counts. A little goes a long way in transforming a child’s day.

Sponsor a Child — Create Lasting Change

Sponsorship gives a child stability, education, and hope for the future.

You’ll help cover meals, uniforms, learning materials, and essential care.

It’s one of the most powerful ways to make a long‑term difference.
