Charities

GamBLE
The Yalding charity GamBLE – ‘Gambia, Building Links in Education’, is a small Kent based charity, which helps provide nursery and primary school education in the village of Farato, near Banjul airport, Gambia, run by Karen and Tony Di Marco.

Home Farm Project
Africa Organics is running The Home Farm Project in the Gambia, which is helping remote inland villages by encouraging the young men to stay at home and set up ethical village businesses and thereby create systems of living that are ecologically-sound and economically viable, which provide for their own needs and those of their communities and do not exploit or pollute and are therefore sustainable in the long term.

Living Values Education
An international organisation, running workshops for schools that teach values that lead to self-respect, critical thinking, integrity, ethics and other social skills – all of which lead to a caring, values-based atmosphere in the classroom and thereby enhance learning, mutual respect and a next generation of responsible world citizens.

Karmic Angels
Founded by Stephanie and Allan, the role of Karmic Angels includes relieving sickness and poverty by providing safe running water, equipment and financial assistance to the Gambian people in bush villages, clinics and schools.
