Credence Charitable Trust

Credence Charitable Trust is a UK Charity supporting The Credence Nursery School.

The school was founded in 1994 by young people in Latrikunda Sabiji and registered by the department of state for education in the same year.

The young people were inspired by the President Award Scheme Programmes in The Gambia, known in England as the Duke of Edinburgh Award International Association.

The nursery at present is funded through school fees. The land which the school stands on is not owned by the school, instead the two classrooms are on a rental basis.

The charity's aim is to purchase a piece of land big enough to build a school complex on freehold land.

Deafax

Deafax The Deafax Trust is the only organisation in the UK dedicated to the education, training, research and development of ICT for deaf children.

Deafax is training teachers of the deaf to maximise the benefits of ICT as a teaching tool. This has evolved into a number of training programmes which are now available to share with deaf children and educators internationally.

Comic Relief are funding a programme to improve the communication skills, literacy and employment prospects for deaf people in The Gambia.

As a first step, Deafax staff have visited the Gambia Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (GADHOH) to set up the personal computer that has been obtained with the funds and to offer training in Gambia and the UK to GADHOH staff.

Friends of the Gambian African Christian School

Friends of the Gambian African Christian School is a UK based charity set up to help educate children of the Gambia, in particular those who attend the GACS run by the Reverend Richard Jackson.

At the present time they are a small charity run by a few people.

Their initial goal is to raise enough money to construct a school building in the village of Essau on the piece of land given to the Reverend by the village chief.

With the school building in place they will then need to supply funds to pay teachers and provide school equipment.
