Education and Sponsorship - Your Smalls Appeal

Opportunities and a great chance for the equality of girls.

Education

‘Your Smalls Appeal’ seeks to protect some of the Gambia’s poorest girls and give them the chance to go to school.

We use your carefully donated funds to assist with the education of girls living in rural villages. With your help, we can start to break the cycle of poverty and encourage empowerment.

Help all girls walk to school feeling safe, secure and with dignity.
