Partnerships in The Gambia

Partnerships in The Gambia is a UK registered charity. We believe that education, healthcare and sustainable livelihoods are the key to enabling people in The Gambia to make a better future for themselves. The Gambia is the smallest nation in Africa and also one of the poorest. As a primarily facilitating organisation we believe the way to deliver our purposes is to work in partnership with other organisations – in both the UK and The Gambia.

The  purpose of Partnerships in The Gambia is to  advance education, relieve sickness, promote health and relieve poverty by supporting the creation of sustainable livelihoods.

We recognise the strength in the development of partnerships and aim to deliver our purposes this way, through both local and international partnerships, offering a hand up not just a hand out, enabling Gambians to help themselves, rather than creating dependency.

Your support is vital in enabling us to do this, and we would love you to get involved and have a direct influence on what we do - from decision making to fundraising to helping us spread the word.

Working with others is essential to achieve our aims – we cannot do it on our own. There's a lot to do, and it is key that we have effective, trusting and strong partnerships in both the UK and The Gambia.

We recognise that we need to work in partnership with organisations in The Gambia to deliver our objectives, so that:

• what we do is led by the needs, knowledge and experience of Gambians, not by what we think is best
• we continue our focus on delivering education, healthcare and livelihoods 'by Gambians, for Gambians' - utilising the knowledge, networks and local know-how that exists in organisations across The Gambia.

Please help us to achieve our aims by either donating to the charity or one of our projects. All money raised here will be delivered directly to our Gambian partners.
