The Gambia Volunteers Trust (GVT) is a registered international voluntary organisation, helping to enhance the dignity and to improve the lives of people living in poverty; to enable people to help themselves by providing practical opportunities to create a better future: to work with determination and care to empower people in need through volunteerism.
The Gambia Volunteers aims at developing and organising voluntary health services to support patients and relatives in hospitals and Health Post throughout The Gambia.
The Gambia Volunteers helps individuals to find suitable volunteering opportunities and provides advice and support to organisations to find suitable volunteers. We work in schools, hospitals, orphanages, women’s groups, social work, environment, disaster relief and many other projects.
We provide volunteering opportunities to unemployed Gambians and accept international volunteers from abroad. We work with international voluntary organisations.
Mireille Martensson from Sweden visited Marang Beyai Memorial Nursery School were she sponsored two students. We thank her for the sponsorships and would urge people visiting The Gambia to visit the nursery for any sponsorships they can offer to the children.
Volunteering brings benefits to both society at large and the individual volunteer. It makes important contributions, economically as well as socially and contributes to a more cohesive society by building trust and reciprocity among citizens.
