Sponsor and Support Girl Child Education in The Gambia

Why Sponsor girls to go to school?

At the SaGG Foundation, we believe that educating girls in The Gambia is one of the most powerful ways to create lasting change.

Today, only 49% of girls in The Gambia complete secondary school, with many forced to leave due to early marriage, poverty, or lack of support.

Through sponsorship, we can remove these barriers giving girls the chance to learn, grow, and build brighter futures.

You can be part of that change.

Understanding Sponsorship: How It Works

WHY SPONSOR A GIRL?

The only way to empower girls with a future full of choice and possibilities is through education, hence we are convinced that a better future for a girl is built and maintained through education. Girls in The Gambia are keen to learn, however, poverty remains the key barrier to going to school.

HOW MUCH DOES sponsorship COST?

Sponsorship is from £10 a month depending on the school level of the girl. The full cost goes to the designated girl’s education, this allows for a more personal relationship and connection depending on the choice of the sponsor.

WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?

The entire sponsorship goes to the girl’s education, this pays for her school fees, uniforms and educational material such as school bags, shoes and books.

HOW DO I KNOW AM MAKING A DIFFERENCE

You can have as much contact as you wish with the family of the girl or receive updates twice a year about her education and progress. This will give you the reassurance that your contribution is making a difference in shaping the lives of girls in The Gambia.

Benefits of Sponsoring a Girl with Us

Giving Love and Hope

100% of the sponsorship goes to your chosen girl. We do not collect a pot of money to distribute among the girls. The girl that you are sponsoring receives your full sponsorship.

Direct Communication

You can choose to have direct communication with the girl and her family. Receive weekly to monthly updates about the girl's schooling and build a 1-2-1 relationship.

Direct Payment

We are passionate about what we do. We know the issue at hand, hence why sponsorship payments are made directly to the schools and receipts are made available to you.
