Spring Of Life Primary School
The Spring of Life Primary School is in the Sinchu Alagie area, and was founded in 2015 by 3 friends Joseph Mendy, Andrew Mendy and Paul Gomez. Their aim was to give children who would not otherwise be able to go to school a chance to access an education and in their words “to narrow the gap between the have and the have nots and help give them a springboard into life”.
There are approx. 280 children in the school which caters for Pre-Nursery to Grade 3. The area around the school is very poor and the school itself has very few resources.
Project Gambia has been supporting the school since 2019 providing much needed school resources and equipment from tables and chairs to reading books, school bags, text books, paints and pencil cases etc.
The school works closely with Omega Primary School and during the last 12 months with our support the school has introduced a house system, house prizes, student awards, reading awards, celebration assemblies and a new reporting system.
Project Gambia will continue to support the school as much as we can and in doing so help to make a difference to these children’s lives.
““Project Gambia, you are truly dedicated to making a difference to the lives of children in The Gambia. The children and staff at Spring of Life Nursery School have greatly loved interacting with the teams that have visited. We value your friendship and support in helping us to continue impacting and shaping the lives of children. Thank you for all you do!””
