EMCCF GoFundMe Campaign 2024

As a charity, we have gathered many school learning and medical items through our charity partners to ship to vulnerable children and communities in The Gambia. The items are enough to fill a 40ft container and will be distributed within hospitals, schools, and communities that have very little or no access to basic equipment to provide basic health care and education.

Our charity partners NPAC (National Police Aid Charity) have kindly offered to help us pay for the shipping cost from the UK to The Gambia. The container is planned to be loaded in the UK on the 4th of March 2024 and is estimated to arrive at The Gambian port in Banjul within 6-8 weeks after departure.

Our beneficiaries are in desperate need of these items, but unfortunately, due to the increase in costs of clearing a container since the beginning of 2024, we are seeking financial support from you to raise funds. The funds raised will be used to pay for the clearing cost and to transport the items to the beneficiaries. The schools and clinics have already been identified and all the items however small will be audited and together with photographs reported back to all those participating in the fundraising.

Here are a few areas you may wish to support or head-up on behalf of EMCCF:
  1. Create a unique EMCCF Gambian's children's library — for many electronic learning is a luxury only to be imagined.
  2. School essentials: uniforms, shoes, textbooks, exercise books, pencils, pens and other educational aids.
  3. Provide children with school “transport” especially for those who walk at least an hour or more to get to school every morning, - A bicycle acquisition programme is already embryonic in some schools and has the added advantage of practical skills learning (bike maintenance) to the school curriculum.
  4. Support immunization programs by providing medical items and “no longer“ required equipment to the clinics and health facilities across the country especially, those who focus on mothers and their babies with basic pre and post-natal to help eliminate child mortality rate.
  5. Help us source “redundant“ solar panel equipment and related converter engineering to expand the first steps taken recently to power clinics and schools in the rural communities.
  6. Imagine the impact on a child's learning of one light bulb in the hours of darkness for home learning and parental involvement … priceless.
  7. Supporting sick children and their health bills. Apart from pregnant women and children under the age of 5 there is currently no free medical health care in the Gambia however serious the illness.
  8. Support seriously ill children to travel for overseas treatment when there is no other option in the Gambia.
  9. School fees and educational sponsorship. For example: one full academic year of education can cost between D3000.00 to D10,000.00 (£48.50 to £161.00 English Pound) depending on the age and level of education.


Alternatively, D6000.00 (£100.00) provides a full school uniform, school shoes, school bag, writing materials and note books for a full academic year.

Parents are very proud of a school uniform which is well cared for and handed down to siblings in the same family.
