The money we collect from donations will be used to pay for all the things which are needed at the school. Specifics will vary from year to year as requirements will be dependent upon government grants, other charitable donations, the ongoing maintainance of the school, and particular requests from GOVI staff. Part of the proceeds may be used for a contingency fund whenever money is required for welfare and relief in order to ensure that all the children are able to remain in education.
Friends of GOVI would like to reassure you that we will consistently do everything in our power to ensure that your sponsorship contributions are spent wisely for the benefit of all the children at the School for Blind and Visually Impaired Children. Please do not send any contributions direct to The Gambia or make independent donations to organisations or individuals. We are deeply saddened when we see people making charitable donations to The Gambia which are not directed or used to their best advantage. As with any desperately poor country, there is evidence of corruption and opportunism, but you can be confident that Friends of GOVI will not permit the mismanagement or misappropriation of your donations. Please feel free to contact the Chairman, Phil Feller, if you have any concerns about your contributions and how they are being used.
