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.
Wells provide water for drinking, animals and
gardens - especially during the dry season. Many wells need repair - this
is a great gift for an entire village: $2,000.00
to repair a Well
This well needs a new pump to
transform it into a source of clean water.
This well has been repaired and now
provides clean water for drinking, washing and for gardening which
gives extra nutrition for the village.

It costs about $150 for a Gambian child to attend elementary school for

We also know students who
need help with High School and College. They need multi-year support

Seattle. GambiaHELP provides books, computers, educational opportunities,
seed money, and human resources to Gambian communities in need. The goal
