JustType’s Selected Charity

Our selected charity for this year is the Hope Nursery School

The Hope Nursery School is situated in the village of Latri Kunda in the West of Gambia. Latri Kunda is itself within the great urban sprawl of Serrekunda, where a lot of the Gambian population live. The people are mostly pre-occupied with the daily struggle for food and have little money for extras.

In Gambia many different languages are spoken such as Wolof, Mandinka and Fula. If a child cannot read and write English when they go to Secondary Education then they have little chance of gaining any qualifications or employment in the future. This is why this nursery education from 3 to 8 is so important as it determines the eventual level of success the child can achieve.

The Hope Nursery School was established in December 1997 by two cousins, Mr Amida Koroma and Mr Joseph Kajue, two refugees from the civil war in Sierra Leone. They named the school 'Hope' to give hope to the Gambian children they would be teaching and to give themselves hope for a new future.

Please visit their JustType website and find out more about the school and their work.
