Scholarship Fund

With our ever-growing number of students moving through their education, Lisa Kent Trust has been working to deliver a smooth transition from education into employment.  Our aim is to ensure our students find a vocation which they enjoy and in which they can excel, thereby supporting their family and the development of the Gambia.  The purpose of the fund is to assist a group of students to continue their studies through their education, vocational training, apprenticeships, college or university.

Join our Scholarship Programme and assist young people to continue their studies and achieve their dream.

Sponsorship

You can help us change lives and the outcomes for children in The Gambia by sponsoring a child.   It’s a great way to support a child and watch them grow, mature and develop.

Child sponsorship via a modest investment will provide a solid foundation for a child’s future.  Your gift provides an outstanding and unique opportunity for a child’s life chances and the outcomes for the child’s family and community where adult literacy is still extremely low.
