We currently support +6000 students
GambiaRising is run completely by volunteers, allowing 100% of donations to go directly to students.
GambiaRising is a labor of love. We have no offices, no paid staff. The hundreds of people working on our program volunteer their time. 100% of your donations will be used to support students. |
Our dedicated team of Gambian volunteer coordinators know their communities well (most are experienced educators). They know the family situations, know the schools, and keep track of students' progress. |
We have a team dedicated to fundraising and outreach, most of whom are returned Peace Corps Volunteers and former staff from Peace Corps/The Gambia. |
