Kingfisher Trust

Kingfisher Trust aims to direct resources and donated equipment where it is most needed, encourage self-sufficiency by offering skills training, help raise educational standards by assisting with basic school equipment, especially in nursery schools, to encourage a sense of community in villages by working with people on local projects and to form a link between children and schools in Europe and The Gambia.

Projects have included providing medical equipment and two ventilators for the Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Victoria Hospital, linking with UNESCO Clubs and The President's Award Scheme in the skills training of young people, providing typewriters and computers for schools, providing sewing machines and tools for villages and skills centres, with the generous assistance of 'Tools with a Mission' and providing machine tools for technical skills.
