Establish an after-school tutoring and mentoring educational programme for deprived children of The Gambian in core subjects based on the national school curriculum i.e., English, mathematics, history, spelling, reading, handwriting, rhymes etc.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Implement an after-school reading club for deprived children of The Gambia by supplying all the books, resources and materials to set up the mini book library. The reading books are swapped weekly.
Implement a Saturday morning social, audio visual and sports club for deprived children of The Gambia. The charity supplies all the materials and resources and materials.
Implement periodical educational trips for children enrolled in the afterschool programme, by visiting places of specific interest relating to their educational curriculum.
The charity provides financial assistance to the children in our afterschool programme by paying their school fees / resources when ejected from school due to outstanding bills. Part of the charity policy is to retain the children in the state school programme for the duration that they are in our programme.
The progress and success of our programmes are measured though two performance indicators as follows:
-
a. Performance assessment of the children in the state school they attend and on the subjects that we deliver at our programme. (The trustees do receive the term assessment reports of participating children from their respective state schools from their parents to review their individual special needs to improve on their weaknesses).
-
b. Performance assessment of the kids in our programme. (The trustees receive regular updates / reports on the progress and welfare of the children enrolled in our programmes / activities)
The above two performance indicators are amalgamated into a report and issued to the trustees for review and evaluation of the children’s progress / measuring performance.
The trustees have created a channel of communication between the charity and the school / classroom teachers of the children in our programme through charity appointed education / programme coordinator.
