In
the Gambia, education is not compulsory but every child
that we come into contact with has a burning desire to
go to school. But this desire is not without a cost. A
child has to pay school fund, for books and for all writing
materials. They are also expected to supply two uniforms,
a pair of good shoes, a school bag and a midday lunch
- all of which is too costly for most parents.
The
cost to sponsor a child through school for a full yeare
are as follows:
Lower
Basic / Infant = £70
Secondary = £140
For the same cost, please consider
sponsoring a classroom or school for much needed stationery.
Many more children will benefit from your single donation.
