Gambian Projects Overseas was formed back in 2003 by a collection of like-minded friends in the UK. We want to provide support to communities across The Gambia.

G.P.O has made many friends over the last 19 years. We want to help establish self-sufficient and long-term projects across The Gambia. We want to continue helping communities but we can only do this with your help - we hope you can join us.

What we do?

At G.P.O, we focus on increasing children's access to education, through building new schools, installing computer suites for local communities and distributing teaching resources.

Our core values.

We focus on providing the tools to communities to make real long-term improvements.

Our mission.

To work & walk alongside our Gambian friends, assisting and enabling them to increase their knowledge & skills in order to move forward in their own chosen pathway.

The past year has been one of significant progress and achievement across multiple projects. Our continued commitment to education, infrastructure, and community development has yielded tangible results, thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the dedication of our team.

Soma Fire Station Clinic Following our intervention and refurbishment of the clinic, donations from the UK have enabled us to supply a substantial amount of medical resources and equipment, including benches from Fossebank Schools' closure.

Allotments Alagie Faal at Sanyang The allotment continues to function well, primarily managed by Alagie’s family and close neighbours. Seasonal crops remain a staple, with onions being a particularly abundant harvest. 

Abdoulie Jallow The community allotments at Kunkujang Gunjar are now fully operational, supporting 19 families with daily produce. Bananas/Oranges Discussions are underway regarding the establishment of a banana and orange plantation to generate additional income for the community.
