Story

Roots Nursery School has been working in Gambia since 2007 and in Nemakunku since 2013. With your help we can provide 72 additional free nursery places bringing our total to 100. We love what we do but sadly we need your help to make our wish a reality.

By Mid March 2016 we will have signed a 5 year lease on this tired school building and started on an 10 week build project. 

The site has 4 classrooms but needs new floors,windows, doors, roof and toilets. We also need stationary, educational materials, a clean water supply plus additional trained teaching staff.

If we manage to raise enough money we will also be able to provide a school meal which for some may be their only meal of the day.

Help us to unlock the potential of these children and provide them free school places

A place to grow... Roots Nursery School provides free nursery aged education in Gambia, West Africa, with the aim of removing our pupils from poverty through education. We believe every child is entitled to an education and that it should not be a luxury item which sadly in Africa it often is.
