Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
GAMBIARISING PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPOVERISHED GAMBIANS TO BETTER THEMSELVES THROUGH THEIR OWN WORK - PRIMARILY THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO GAMBIAN STUDENTS WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STAY IN OR GO TO SCHOOL. OUR ONLY CRITERIA ARE CHARACTER AND NEED, AND THE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE THAT OUR SUPPORT WILL MAKE IN RECIPIENTS' LIVES. WE FOCUS MOST OF OUR WORK ON KEEPING STUDENTS IN SCHOOL, ESPECIALLY GIRLS AT THE HIGHER GRADES. WE HAVE ALSO FUNDED CONSTRUCTION OF SEVERAL RURAL SCHOOLS, AND SUPPORTED OTHER GAMBIAN SCHOOLS THROUGH PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS, DONATION OF LEARNING MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY, AND FUNDING ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR THEIR TEACHERS. WE ALSO SUPPORTED SEVERAL LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE IMPROVEMENT OF RURAL HEALTH CLINICS AND REPLACING OR REPAIRING VILLAGE AND SCHOOL WELLS.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
GAMBIARISING'S PRIMARY PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT THE EDUCATION OF THOSE WHO WITHOUT HELP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL, WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON GIRLS. AT THE END OF 2021, MORE THAN 4,000 STUDENTS WERE IN SCHOOL WITH SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT CONSISTING OF WHATEVER WAS NEEDED TO HAVE THEM START, CONTINUE, OR GO BACK TO SCHOOL. THIS INCLUDED SCHOOL UNIFORMS, BOOKS & SUPPLIES, TUITION, STUDY FEES AS NEEDED AND OCCASIONALLY BICYCLES, CAR FARE, LUNCH MONEY, MEDICINE, SHOES, ETC. AS WELL. SOME COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE ALSO PROVIDED LAPTOPS. OF ALL THESE STUDENTS, 67% WERE GIRLS.
IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF CHILDREN NOT GOING TO OR CONTINUING IN SCHOOL IS THE ABSENCE OF A SCHOOL CLOSE ENOUGH TO WALK TO, WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOLS BY FUNDING MATERIALS AND THE NECESSARY SKILLED LABOR TO CONSTRUCT "HAND-MADE SCHOOLS", WITH BRICKS MADE BY HAND BY THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE ALSO SUPPORTED COMMUNITIES AND TEACHERS IN BUILDING HOUSING FOR TEACHERS IN RURAL SCHOOLS, REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO RURAL SCHOOLS, CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR OF SCHOOL KITCHENS, AND FOR TREE PLANTING AND GARDEN IMPROVEMENTS IN RURAL SCHOOLS.
GAMBIARISING PROVIDED FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT TO WORKING WATER GAMBIA (WITH FUNDS PROVIDED BY WATER CHARITY) WHOSE WORK INCLUDED REPAIRING OR REPLACING WELLS AND PUMPS IN 27 RURAL GAMBIAN VILLAGES WITH A POPULATION OF 14,350 PEOPLE.
