Working with Partners in The Gambia
SUSTAINABILITY is the most important target for aidgambiaTCHC. To this end, we are very keen to work with existing Charities and organisations currently operating in The Gambia. Where appropriate this will be to provide match funding for a one off event.
We will also support organisations to build capacity and we aim to establish the sustainability of ongoing work.
One of the roles of our Clinical Advisors is to look for such opportunities to be explored by the Trustees particularly when they visit the country.

Japalleh Healthcare Foundation
Japalleh Health Care Foundation is a non-profit making charitable organisation as well as a Non-Governmental Organisation, with the goal of assisting the needy and under privileged people of the Gambia and non-citizens by providing them with accessible and affordable health and medical care without any distinction or discrimination.
A specific objective of the Foundation is the provision of essential and affordable health care services where clinical services are acutely lacking or insufficient. To this end aidgambiaTCHC supported the Heath Fair in Oct 2023
The Trustees are delighted to again support the Foundation by providing match funding for the delivery of a second Health Fair and Mentoring Programme.
