Sponsor A Girl To Go To School

The aim of the 'Sponsor a Gambian Girl' charity is to empower girls' lives in The Gambia through education. Girls and women in The Gambia face barriers to education every day, including poverty and cultural norms, which continue to be major barriers causing the exclusion of 38% of female Gambians from accessing education. One of the main barriers to girls' education is poverty.

We are actively working to shape our young Gambian girls into independent, courageous and bold independent leaders. By providing community education, mentoring services and programmes such as summer camps, workshops and seminars. We support Gambian girls to reach their full potential in and out of the classroom.
​
The SaGG Foundation supports underprivileged and marginalized girls with the opportunity to go to school, to change their generational family story and to live successful lives. We regularly contact the students to see their progress which is available on our website and social media platforms. Rest assured that 100% of your sponsorship goes to the girl's education to help the girls secure their success in no time from primary to university education. So far we have impacted the lives of 180 girls...

Keep Our Girls In School Campaign

Founded in January 2019, we have paired up to 180 girls with sponsors in the UK, Germany, USA, and rest of the world. Of course, this would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors and donors. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have lost close to 50 sponsors. The implication being that our girls are at risk of not continuing in school for the upcoming academic year in September 2022.
 
To continue ensuring that our girls stay in school, we have launched the ‘Keep Our Girls in School Campaign’. The aim is to raise $5,000, which would be used to pay the fees of the girls who have lost their sponsors and to provide them with resources for school.

Why We Campaign For Girls' Education

End Early Child Marriage

​Girls should be given books, not husbands. 30% of girls in The Gambia are married off before their 18th birthday. The only way to change this phenomena is by educating girls, empowering them to have a voice.

End Violence Against Girls

​In countries such as The Gambia, girls as young as 2 years old undergo  female genital mutilation  Girls also face other harmful cultural practices that impacts their health in adulthood. Coupled the with rise of sexual violence against girls.

Give Girls Independence

The only way a girl can take control of her life, is if she is given the opportunity to go to school and be educated. Education ensures that a girl become financially independent, which guarantees her freedom.
