Objectives

Behati Foundation is a micro start-up charity (reg. no. 1187892) providing support to some of the world’s most vulnerable children to access quality education in rural Gambia, West Africa.  

We believe that access to safe and quality education is a right and not a privilege, and aim to achieve what every child deserves – the opportunity to realise their potential, no matter where they come from.

Working with local schools and communities in rural Gambia, we invest in programmes that provide support for children to enrol, remain and thrive in school whilst ensuring safe and quality learning environments.

Activities

We invest in projects serving over 500 students, most of whom are first generation learners, across 3 schools in the Nianija District – this is believed to be the poorest, most remote, and least developed district in The Gambia. So far, our projects have focused on tackling some of the most immediate issues that stop children attending school: food insecurity in the family and unaffordability.
