Welcome to Projekthilfe Gambia e.V.
Since 1991, we have been operating the "Jahaly Health Centre", the "Bush Clinic" - also known as "Bush Clinic Hattingen" or "Bush Clinic Gambia" - in Jahaly.
In 2003/2004, in addition to the bush clinic, we built a kindergarten with preschool, the "Jahaly/Madina Kindergarten". Designed and built for 240 children, 330 children will be taught and cared for here daily in the school year 2020/2021.

Donation tour 2022
The Northern Regional Group of Projekthilfe Gambia would like to start the long postponed fundraising tour in 2022. The planning has already been resumed. Two minibuses have already been purchased early for the previously planned tour in 2020.
The donation route 2022
Our "kilometer goal" is to collect TWO euros each as a donation for the approx. 6,500 km to be driven. This results in 13,000 euros!
Furthermore, we organize events where we receive further donations.
Our big goal is to hand over at least 20.000 Euro for our projects at the end of the fundraising tour in Jahaly!
In 2022, for the first time, the tour route in Europe will not go via Paris, Bordeaux and Madrid, but via Luxembourg, Lyon, Montpellier and Barcelona to Algeciras.
