Bansang Hospital Appeal

Directions Website

Bansang Hospital Appeal The BHA is a small charity based in Northamptonshire, England. We believe the story of Bansang Hospital is unique.

The Bansang Hospital Appeal, founded in 1992 by Anita Smith MBE MRG, is an award winning charity dedicated to improving healthcare delivery in a remote region of The Gambia, West Africa

To Donate please click on the 'Learn more' button Since 1992, we have been supporting the wonderful staff of Bansang Hospital – helping them to deliver exceptional care outcomes for the 600,000 Sub-Saharan Africans who depend upon this critical healthcare resource. Working within financial constraints that would have seen western healthcare systems crumble and fail, Bansang Hospital has instead fought back from the despair that was all pervading in 1992. Today, it has near 100% staff retention, and is making exceptional progress towards the Millenium Development Goals for health. We hope you will like our page and perhaps head over to our website at www.bansanghospitalappeal.org where you can learn more about our history, achievements, and future dreams.

Tanya Gillett, you are amazing🤗👏❤️Tanya has trained for 10 months, last 3 months she put in 15 hours a week in preparation for the gruelling Mid Triathlon.

Tanya swam 1.2 miles, cycled 56 miles and ran 13.1 miles in 6 hrs 31 mins 50 secs.

Grateful thanks to her supporters for raising £1,386.00.

A chance and very brief encounter at Gatwick airport prior to flying out to The Gambia is now transforming the lives of Tunko and his family, Tanya pledged her support after learning of his family and the intolerable conditions that they presently suffer.

Tunko is employed at the hospital, he is the most conscientious and hard working man, respected by everyone as he proudly goes about his daily work ensuring that the grounds of the hospital are clean and free of litter.

Tunko and his family need not fear anymore, in the next 4-6 weeks they will move into a new home that is being funded by Tanya and Bansang Hospital Appeal.

Tunko, his sweet wife and family have never asked for anything and yet their primitive mud built house with its mud floors and tin roof is INFESTED with RATS and it will not withstand another rainy season that is due any day now.

The entire staff at the hospital are so happy for the wonderful support for this very special family.❤️❤️

This Sunday, Tanya is taking on an incredible challenge to help change a family's life. 💙

Tunko and his wife both have physical disabilities, and their daughter is non-verbal. The family live in a mud house with a metal roof that may not survive the heavy rains.

We are raising £2,000 to help provide them with a safe and secure home.

To help make this happen, Tanya has spent the last 10 months training, including up to 15 hours a week over the last 3 months, and this Sunday will take on:

🏊‍♀️ 1.2-mile swim
🚴‍♀️ 56-mile bike ride
🏃‍♀️ 13.1-mile run

A challenge that will take around 7–7.5 hours to complete!

If you can spare a few pounds or simply share this post, we would be incredibly grateful. Every donation will help us get closer to building a safe home for Tunko and his family. ❤️
