You can choose the projects you
want to fund let GambiaHELP choose where funds are needed.



Solar Lamps. 
Provides light in the evening as well as the ability to charge cell phones.  This makes a tremendous difference in the villages of The Gambia where there is no electricity.   $80

Shelby has identified an URGENT NEED for Webster Jumbo English-English Dictionaries. These will be used for middle and secondary schools.

These are available at DollarDays (http://www.dollardays.com/i311510-wholesale-webster-jumbo-english-english-dictionary.html) or Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Savings-311510-Webster-English-English-Dictionary/dp/B002URQDT8)


More Information on Project Funding

 

Jeff Chen accompanied Shelby to The Gambia in 2009.  Read more about Jeff's travels.

 

"Shelby and I debriefed on all the activity from the trip to the villages, including assembling a summary of projects and proposals villagers had presented. 

Shelby emphasizes implementing projects that the villagers want, not that she wants, so visiting the villages in person is critical. 

It was a bit overwhelming to see all the items, knowing that most likely GambiaHELP would only be able to fund a few of them due to the world economic downturn and subsequent drop-off in donor dollars."


   

Educational Funds for Elementary School Children.  $175

It costs about $175 for a Gambian child to attend elementary school for one year.  This includes their school fees, uniforms, books and supplies.  You can select to support a girl or a boy student.  There are many studious children in The Gambia who are deserving of this support.

Give a Student a BackPack full of School Supplies $50

Every year GambiaHELP provides many backpacks for students in The Gambia.  You can help us support this project.  The students are selected by their schools based on need and hard work.

Donations
Please help us to reach our 2008/2009 goal of sending the equivalent of $45,000 in books and supplies to The Gambia.

Give a Sustainable Gift to a
Gambian Family

Gambia is an agricultural society.  The Gift of Animals can make a huge difference in their lives.  Often the animals would provide offspring with the intention that the offspring will be given to another worthy family.

Cow - $550
Goat $155
Beehive $45
Chickens $25

Wells and Gardens

Wells provide water for drinking, animals and gardens.  Gardens watered by wells in the dry season are especially valuable to the whole community as they provide vegetables and enhance nutrition for the children.  Many wells need repair - this is a great gift for an entire village:

$2,000 to repair a Well
