SchoolForAll currently sponsors over 100 children at various levels in the Gambian education system, working in partnership with families to provide an education for children who would otherwise not be able to attend school.

Sponsorship is a real felt need here in Gambia, and we are always being asked to take on more sponsor students. Often one wage earner has the reponsibility to support several of their siblings/children/relatives at school and cannot meet the costs.

Sponsorship students are selected according to need, and commitment already shown to education. Most of our students attend Upper Basic or Secondary schools. Students' progress is closely monitored and, whilst we accept that not all students will have the same academic ability and results, we do not continue to sponsor students who are not serious about their education and are repeatedly absent from school.

Become a SchoolForAll supporter!

For a  monthly donation of £5 you could become part of our SchoolForAll scheme, giving a child the opportunity to have an education. You will receive a bookmark with a photo and details of your sponsor child. If you would like to you can write to your child at the HopeForAll address, although younger students may not be able to reply.

The fees often vary from school to school, but for practical reasons the sponsorship rate is set at £5 per child.* Please note that if your child is at a school where the fees are cheaper, then excess funds will be put towards school projects – see the school projects page for examples.
