SOS Children's Villages Gambia
SOS Children established and SOS Children’s Village in 1992 at Bakoteh, about 15kms from the capital, Banjul. This is home to about 100 children and the SOS nursery school is used additionally by local children, and the primary school is now run by the national education authority. A technical high school gives children from both the SOS Children's community and the surrounding area opportunities to obtain a school leaving certificate. Vocational and technical training is also offered in agriculture, textiles and construction. With 28 classrooms, 600 pupils benefit from laboratories and workshops including metal working, carpentry, car mechanics, vehicle body repairs and dressmaking and also operates as a production and service unit supplying the general public. Lack of medical facilities locally led to the establishment of an SOS Mother and Child Clinic in 1997 as well as an outpatients' department and pharmacy. Preventive medicine, diagnosis and treatment are carried out using the latest equipment and with highly-trained staff. Around 6,000 people are served locally together with children living at the SOS Children’s Village. A second at Basse in the east of the country is due to open late in 2007. There will be 12 family homes plus an SOS Nursery School together with an SOS Primary School for over 400 children from the village and local community. http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/sponsor-a-child/africa-child-sponsorship/gambia.htm
