Can anyone help? We are looking for storage for school materials and boxes for 4 months In the Bradford area. We have been incredibly lucky with free storage in the past and would appreciate help. We need 600 to 1000 sq ft with ability to park a container for one morning only for loading in October. Please contact this page if you can help.
Imagine if everyone reading this donated £1 and then shared it with their friends how close we would be to our target. Please help us replace this classroom with a permanent structure.
The Charity built a three classroom block at Loumen in The Gambia. The school has expanded so quickly that now we have this temporary classroom being used for two classes a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The rainy season starts soon and this will be ruined. We would like to build a permanent structure soon. If everyone reading this could donate even a £ or a Euro we would be well on our way to providing a clean dry environment, Thank you.
An enjoyable evening raising money! Thank you to all who came along and joined in.

We were thrilled to be chosen as one of the charities to benefit from Otley Lord Mayor’s charity 14+1 appeal for 2017-2018. A big thank you to the Mayor Nigel Francis and his team for their generous donation. thank you to Jason Knowles for the photography.
The charity firmly believes this and we are continuing to collect picture encyclopaedia, such as Usborne and Dorling Kindersley, science, geography, atlas, and reading books for all ages. Please contact us if you can help

These are the pupils from Loumen on a school trip. Most of these pupils have never left their village before, the trip went from Loumen and visited Wassu Stone circles, the Slave House and slave market at Janjanbureh, the airport, the National Assembly with a guided tour, Abuko Nature Reserve, the National Museum, and Tanji Museum. The pupils and staff were so excited! Lots of lessons learnt and minds opened to different futures.
