Story

It's easy to forget that life's daily problems continue when we are all so concerned about Covid-19 but, according to the World Health Organisation, an estimated 120,000 people per year get malaria in The Gambia.

With all the Covid19 restrictions, malaria is an additional complication that Gambian people face at this challenging time.

Since Dance2Learn can't get out there this year, we have again teamed up with The Gunjur Project to try to buy 100 mosquito nets for the community. At around £5.00 ($8.00) each, we're hoping for £500.

£4.00 with GiftAid will protect a life for at least this season!

About the charity

RCN HMRC Registered
www.Dance2Learn.org was set up in 2007 by Mei Catherall as a charitable company under the umbrella of www.iSource.org.uk to raise money to improve the school lives of the pupils at Jamisa Basic School in Brikama, Gambia whilst promoting dance and a feeling of community spirit here in the united Kingdom. This project has seen water & electricity brought in to the school and initiated a twinning with a school in the UK. We continued to support the growth of the library and were kept informed by the Deputy headmaster, Mr Badjie, on developments. With your help, the school has made tremendous leaps in the education league table in The Gambia. Since this initial project, D2L have been involved in helping the WHO to eradicate malaria through fund-raising to provide mosquito nets (and training as to their proper use) to Africa where a child dies every 35.8 seconds from this preventable disease. Our latest project is to provide WakaWaka Solar Lighting to students and needy, working with "The Gunjur Project" so that they are able to carry on the good work.
