Gambian Enterprise is a UK Charity working with the people of Gambia to improve the quality of their life, and assist to develop sustainable micro-businesses. We are in the proccess of working towards official registration status with the Charity Commission, but first we need to raise £5000.
We operate a membership scheme to fund the administration costs, this allows all money donated for projects to go directly to the project. Please help us by becoming a member.
What do we do?
Anyone who has ever visited Gambia knows how much a little help goes a long way.
But giving money is only a short term solution. Here at Gambian Enterprise we wish to provide a long term and sustainable benefit that helps the people of Gambia to help each other. Our work is focused in two key areas, education & business.
Education
Primary School education is the only state funded learning available, but it is still underused by many Gambian families who are unable to afford to send their children to school. The cost of uniforms, exercise books and school meals can sometimes be out of the reach of some families.
Working together with Gambian School Headmasters we will identify those children that would truly benefit from Sponsorship.
We also look to improve the quality of the schools themselves. We identify worthwhile and sustainable projects that can give long term benefit to the children and their families.
Business
Gambian Enterprise is committed to business projects that allow long term investment in The Gambia.
Our Business projects are joint ventures between Gambian adults and Gambian Enterprise. This provides opportunities and jobs for Gambian men and women regardless of education, religion or political belief.
The profit of each project is shared between the project owner and Gambian Enterprise, we then re-invest the profit into further Gambian Business projects thus creating business growth and Gambian self-sufficiency.
Our immediate need is to raise the £5000 to formally become a registered charity. This will open so many doors and give us access to grants and Gift Aid. Please consider supporting our efforts by becoming a member of Gambian Enterprise
