Our Legacy

We did a lot of great things in The Gambia on our 2014 trip, but it didn't stop there. From our fundraising we had £1,500 left over, so this is where our money is going, facilitated by The Gunjur Project:

£350 to sponsor a turtle monitoring project – see here for full details. This project will start next month (June 2014).

£350 to support a cooking project which has been specifically designed for farmers so that they can make the most of their crops. We would offer it to the women’s association to make (& sell) food from their garden, plus some of the Scouts. It's a government organisation who are delivering the training, the cost covers resources and paying the teachers.

£500 to purchase 100 doses of malaria medication – the rainy season will soon arrive, when malaria is rife and many people die. A dose of this medication can save someone’s life.

£300 to sponsor a child through 3 years of education, covering school fees, uniform & books.

2015 Here we come!

We had such a great time this year that half of the original team are going back next year, along with some new team members.

We identified lots of opportunities for projects we can do with the skills within our team and we can't wait to start planning again!
