Information:
 The
organisation GETS originated in the UK and is a fully registered
education charity (No. 343/2011) in Gambia supporting teachers
and students. (Donation & fundraising details are on their
site.)
Background:
After a holiday back in 1997
Mr. Francis Glynn
and his family founded the Gambia
Tourist Support Organisation (GTS). Its goals were to
create training and job opportunities for local people. In
due course GTS managed to construct a fully functional school.
As the years passed by it became clear that another charity
was required to collect, administer and manage funds for the
school and for any possible further education projects by
creating a membership support base. This aim was realised
back in 2004 when the Gambia Education and Teaching Support
(GETS) was registered as a charity in the United Kingdom (No.
1110998).
Since 2004 the education charity has assisted over 600 students
with sponsorships,
managed projects for other charities, assumed the administration
of an Education Centre and operated an English speaking nursery
school in Bakoteh Estate (since merged with the Sunrise
Centre).
Membership:
 You
can support the work of GETS by becoming a member and you
will receive regular newsletter updates on the progress of
their various projects. You can make a monthly or annual donation
by cheque, standing order or online. Furthermore, if you are
a UK taxpayer you can give money as Gift Aid which means any
tax you have already paid is sent back to GETS.
