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.
