Project 3 The Kwinella School, Gambia - Project history
passingiton are embarking on Project 3 in conjunction with a fantastic charity called The Fresh Start Foundation. The Fresh Start Foundation was established in 2006 by Lamin and Rebecca Daffeh in order to support orphans and other vulnerable children in The Gambia, West Africa. The Fresh Start Foundation is a registered charity in the United Kingdom and a registered Non Government Organisation (NGO) in The Gambia.
FSF supports children between the ages of 7 to 18 years old, whom, due to poverty are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. FSF's main focus is to provide access to education and health care.
The Foundation provides these children with the following provisions:
- Access to mainstream schools
- Educational resources
- Access to Health Care
- Clean water and sanitation
In January 2010 the passingiton team traveled to the Kwinella school to work alongside FSF to come up with a plan of action for the advancement of education in the region.
