We help families navigate healthcare resources by providing funding for crucial healthcare services while being an advocate that ensures treatment aligns with their needs.
About The Gambia
The Gambia is a republic in West Africa that sits on the Atlantic Ocean, the smallest country in mainland Africa with 2.6 million people. Like most developing countries, preventable and treatable diseases such as malaria, respiratory infections, malnutrition and neonatal sepsis are largely responsible for childhood mortality. Gambian children also suffer from serious conditions like congenital heart defects, childhood leukemias and other cancers. Despite these challenges, the culture of The Gambian people is warm and welcoming — it is known as the “smiling coast of Africa.”
