What
will your donation buy:
|
$6,000 – Purchase of Rice Mill. Rice is the main food source in West Africa, but women spend hours both working in the rice fields and then hulling the rice. Exhausted at the end of the day, there is little time or energy to get ahead or plan for the future. Your gift of a Rice Mill includes set up, training and financial planning for an entire women’s cooperative who can then take charge of their lives and their fortunes by generating food reserves and banking rice to sell to adjacent villages. | |
|
|
|
|
$4,000 – Development of Mosquito Net Production Workshop. Malaria is the number one killer of children in West Africa. Treated mosquito nets are the simplest and most effective way to prevent infection. Your gift helps to provide a women’s cooperative with sewing machines, work tables, mosquito netting and supplies. The women sew treated bed nets, sell them for use in the villages, and earn money to improve their own lives at the same time. |
|
|
$3,000 – Construction of School Library. You can be on the same level as Andrew Carnegie – well almost. Your gift will allow you to fund an entire library for a rural school. books, shelves, paper and paint. The village will supply the labor. |
|
|
$2,000 – Purchase of Water Well Equipment. Potable water is one of the most important elements of rural health, particularly for children. Your donation can provide a well and a pump to provide a source of clean water that will replace water sources that have been polluted or destroyed. |
|
|
$1,400 – Outfitting of Medical Dispensary. Health care and health supplies are rare in rural villages. Your donation can provide medical supplies, medical equipment, vaccines and a small refrigeration unit for a rural medical clinic. |
|
|
$500 – Purchase Library Bookshelves and Books. GambiaHELP and a rural village or school will provide the library space; you provide, with your donation, a 3’ by 6’ bookcase and a set of children’s books, dictionaries and/or encyclopedias. |
|
|
$250 – Support for Education Fund. Help a child go to school for a year, including shoes, uniform, and supplies. |
|
|
$100 – Provide Backpack with School Supplies to Gambian Student. The ubiquitous backpack is a common sight here – there is nothing like it in rural Gambia. School supplies are a rarity. Change all of this with a small donation that will not only be an educational gift, but will also delight a lucky child for an entire year. |
|
|
$50 – Supply Five Mosquito Nets. Protect five (5) children from Malaria infection while they sleep for an entire year by supplying these mosquito nets. |
|
|
$25 – Books for School Libraries. Your contribution will provide a school with 10 books. |
Even
a $1 gift will bring us closer to our 2007/2008 goal of raising
$45,000. To
date we have shipped over 100,000 books to The Gambia. This is still
a small contribution towards the educational needs of the private
and public schools of the country. We need your continued support to
bring a book to every child.
GambiaHELP is recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c)(3) charitable/educational organization, so your contributions are tax-deductible.
