In 2022, through your support, I was able to help donate 18 emergency vehicles to The Gambia in West Africa. The vehicles were delivered by road, a journey of 4000 miles! This was no plain sailing though. We crossed multiple borders, war torn countries, minefields and through some of the worlds poorest countries. During this journey I virtually lived in my vehicle and slept, cooked and ate in it for 2 weeks before finally reaching The Gambia.

The Gambia has a population of nearly 2 million, but hardly any emergency services. 2022 saw us double the number of fire engines for the county. We were able to supply proper safety clothing due to many firefighters tackling blazes in their own clothes and flip flops.

The health service within The Gambia is just as bad. Very limited ambulances through each district means that many will not be able to reach medical help, with mortality rates some of the highest in the world. On average, there are only 5 midwives per 1000 people, and with no method of transporting them, many women die in childbirth.Our aim is to deliver more emergency vehicles, both fire and ambulances, plus vital lifesaving equipment to help the fire and health services.

You can help for less than £1 per mile. No donation is too small, and everything help.
