Educate Jarra Project

UK Jarra Association’s Educate Jarra Project is premised on creating possibilities for the children of Jarra to excel in STEM related subjects, giving them the opportunity to achieve their potential and be able to invent and discover and, to grow into men capable of doing new things and breaking barriers. We recognised that, an investment in education pays the best interest. It is the premise of progress in every family and every society. At present only 2 schools out of the 13 Upper and Senior secondary schools have science and computer labs so this project is to make ICT available to these students, make IT an integral part of the school curriculum, bridge the digital divide and ensure that all can benefit from the digital age.

Community Health

This project is aimed at improving the health and well-being of the people of Jarra by providing support to health facilities in the Gambia particularly those in Lower River Region. This project is on-going and two consignments of medical items worth tens of thousands of pounds have already been donated. UKJA is also committed to continue to support the communities in Jarra.

Welfare

It also provides a framework through which assistance can be provided and how. The project looks at number of things, one of which is, provide educational support to members on contemporary social issues such as crime prevention, terrorism, social welfare, religion, financial management, career advice(for our children) by engaging experts to give talks on these issues.
