New ‘Sponsor a Child’ Programme is Launched
In May 2022 a new sponsorship programme has been started to support Omega School. The school is a small nursery school in Sinchu Sorrie, Kombo North, which is in the west coast region of The Gambia.
Established in 2015 the school’s aim is to give poorer children in the Sinchu Sorrie area an opportunity to attend school. There are currently 194 children in the school which has 6 classes: Nursery 1 -3 and Grades 1-3. Although children should pay fees to attend the school; for uniform, equipment and stationery many of them cannot afford to.
Sponsoring a child costs £12 a month which pays for school fees, uniform and books. Sponsors receive photos of their sponsor child, termly reports and any letters/cards/pictures etc. which the children give us when we visit.
For more information about the programme and/or if you would like to sponsor a child please email Bev Hodt: bevhodt@projectgambia.org.uk
