The African Oyster Trust Charity | Nursery Education and Healthcare in Gambia

There's been plenty of progress to report over the last month on our newest project at Talinding.

The roof is already nearly done, the doors and windows are in, toilets are built and all of the classrooms have been plastered.

The trust team in The Gambia, led as ever by Kira Dalton, has embarked on another exciting project - this time building a completely new three-classroom nursery school and compound for children in Talinding.

The facility is badly needed; when Kira first visited the existing JTT Nursery School she found 134 children aged from 3 to 7 years crammed into a single room with no space for proper teaching or play activities.

Read the full report here, and please do stop to think whether you can make a donation to the project (our donation page, including online facilities, is here).

Every new project we undertake makes a world of difference to the lives of these young children, but we are only a small charity and every intervention  depends on the goodwill and support of our individual and corporate donors. We are grateful to each and every one.
