CFG - Gambia

Children’s Foundation the Gambia (CFG) is a Local Charitable Organization established on 18th
August 2010 to provide support to rural people especially children and women in the areas of
education. Children’s Foundation The Gambia is born to help the state and other actors in the promotion, protection and provision of services for the development of children, with specific focus on the rural children. For instance a child in Banjul have more access to good education, health, accommodation, clothing, feeding, play than a child from a remote village, when all of them are supposed to have equal access to education, health etc whilst living in the same country. Access to recreational facilities, good drinking water and Early Childhood education and development are inadequate for rural children in the Gambia. This has placed a rural child more disadvantaged to an urban child. Many organisations have been established in The Gambia promoting the rights and welfare of children but their scopes are mostly limited to children in the urban areas with little or sometimes no intervention for the urban child. This foundation will help fill this gap. It will work to provide learning materials for rural children, build their capacities to participate among other things for their continued growth and development
