The Gambia is one of the poorest countries in the world where 49% of the population live in poverty. SOS Children’s Villages (SOS) in The Gambia protects children who have lost parental care, or who are at risk of losing it, by ensuring children can grow up in a stable environment where they feel safe, loved and supported. SOS has been offering family-like care to unsupported children since 1949 giving children opportunities to have a brighter future. SOS Gambia also provide children with access to educational and extra-curricular programmes and healthcare. 

When the children become young adults, they join the SOS Youth Program to ensure they can plan for their future and are empowered to develop their own strengths.

The Greater Banjul area is experiencing its worst water supply shortage in 10 years. The high demand outweighs the supply and frequent servicing of the machinery can result in low water pressure or no water supply completely for up to 10 days in the SOS Childrens Village and Youth Home. 

This restricted use of water has led to the shortage of clean water for drinking and washing, restricted access to toilets and showers, as well as the lack of water to maintain the gardens in the village. 

Deen Relief will be fully sponsoring the installation cost of two boreholes in the Childrens Village and Youth Home which will ensure the health, hygiene and wellbeing of children, SOS Parents and other staff in the SOS Village Community and Youth Home. 

We hope to get your continuous donations and support to make this project a success. www.deenrelief.org
