The Gambia Upcountry Development Charity was started in April 2007 and aims to help the people in Gambia help themselves.

We are currently working with the villagers of Kanubeh in upcountry Gambia where there is little outside support and people live in poverty with no services.

The villagers wanted help to build their own school and to develop a Health Centre.

The villagers want to be independent of aid and generate their own income. We have helped the villagers start a bed and breakfast service to begin to generate income for the school

We have generated income in our local community and work with many key local partners in West Sussex.

We rely heavily on the compassion and generosity of individual and group donations, your donations will make such a difference. Every penny raised is spent on the children and families of Kanubeh

Contact us if you would like more information about Kanubeh,

information about us as a charity, or want to visit Kanubeh.
