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.
