From the classroom to the exam hall.

This moment represents years of hard work, resilience, and belief. Our students are finalizing their preparation for their first IGCSE exams that kicks off on April 16th.

They will be sitting for multiple subjects as part of the IGCSE - an internationally recognized academic qualification that prepares students for advanced study and global university pathways.

This is more than education. This is transformation.

Drop a ❤️ to wish our students luck.

What looks like a container full of things is actually something much bigger.

It’s opportunity.
It’s belief.
It’s the result of countless people showing up—giving their time, their resources, and their energy to make something meaningful happen.

Over the past few weeks, our community came together to load this container headed to The Gambia. Inside are the tools that will help us continue building opportunities for young people through education, sport, and community development.

Every item represents someone who believed in the mission.

Special thanks to Pacific Office Automation for their incredibly generous contribution, Dr. Kyle Bryant for helping us acquire the truck we so desperately need as we kick our capital project into gear, and ProTime Sports for the apparel that will equip and inspire our athletes.

And to our friends and supporters who rolled up their sleeves and physically helped load this container - thank you.

The journey continues...

✨ We are excited to share that our medical team is returning to The Gambia this November!

🩺 From November 7th–12th, Kalabash Academy will welcome medical professionals from the USA - including doctors, a dentist, an optometrist, a dietitian, and nurses - who will be providing FREE medical care to individuals who cannot otherwise afford or access care.

This will be our second medical mission. On our last trip, our team served 1,257 patients, offering consultations, treatments, medicine, and follow-up care - all at no cost.

🔜 In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details about:
🎟️ Ticket distribution for patients

Say Less, Do More - It's Giving Tuesday!

A Special Opportunity to Make a Difference!

This Giving Tuesday, we’re reaching out because we’re still working toward our goal to drill a water well platform that will provide reliable access to clean water at our new facility. Every dollar raised goes directly to making this vision a reality.

Your support not only makes a significant impact but also demonstrates the power of community in advancing our mission.

If your company offers a matching gift program, we encourage you to make your donation through them to amplify your contribution. For example, we’re thrilled to leverage a 2:1 matching opportunity from Nike, meaning every dollar a Nike employee donates has triple the impact. This is a powerful way to maximize your support!

You can also donate by writing a check or giving online.

Thank you for being a valued part of our journey. Your dedication to the success of Kalabash Academy inspires us every day.
