NO CHILD SHOULD START SCHOOL EMPTY-HANDED: Help Us Provide Essential School Materials for Orphans
DONATE TO REMOVING ROADBLOCKS TO EDUCATION
As the Gambian academic year approaches, preparations are underway for school resumption on September 21, 2026. For many families, this period represents a time of renewal and potential. However, for orphans and less privileged children within our community, the transition back to the classroom presents significant structural and financial hurdles. The cost of basic enrollment essentials can become a major barrier to consistent school attendance and academic engagement.
When children lack standard uniforms, footwear, or writing materials, they face more than just physical shortages. These gaps can lead to feelings of exclusion and hinder their ability to participate fully alongside their peers.

1. Tailored School Uniform $15.00 (1,050 GMD) Provides standard school attire, fostering a sense of belonging and community integration.
2. Durable School Bag $10.00 (700 GMD) Allows children to transport their books and learning supplies safely, protecting resources from seasonal weather.
3. Notebooks & Writing Materials $5.00 (350 GMD) Supplies a complete set of exercise books, pens, pencils, and mathematical sets required for daily coursework.
4. STURDY SCHOOL SHOES $15.00 (1,050 GMD) Ensures comfortable, safe travel to and from school, protecting students on their daily commute.
