Support students in the 2019-2020 school year
Every cent received goes directly to supporting the scholarships. Unlike most NGOs and charities, the KAM Scholarship Fund has no paid employees and is a 100% volunteer effort.
A minimal portion of donations (approximately $30/year) are used to offset fixed administration costs in The Gambia such as internet usage and transportation for the Gambian administrator to travel to disburse the funds and collect report cards.
Donations can be made by mailing a check, or online using PayPal. Through the PayPal link you can donate by credit card or a PayPal account, and PayPal keeps a small amount as a service fee. Checks are great because there is no service fee aside from the stamp used to mail the check. Email KAMScholarshipFund (at) gmail (dot) com for the mailing address for checks, or use the 'contact us' form below.

Cost vs. Value
Dollars go a long way when they are converted into the Gambian currency of Dalasi. For the cost of a Friday night out, you can team up with a parent in Kerr Alhagi Mallik and give their child a year of higher quality education.
The scholarship amount is based on the difference between what parents can cover and the total cost of attending school (textbooks, computer fees, lab fees, paper, pens, pencils, school uniform, lunch, and daily transportation). Its value is immeasurable. Without scholarships, some students will have to drop out of school while others might continue to attend but not have the books and resources they need to succeed, access to learning in labs, or food to tide them over for formal after-school study sessions.
Donations of any amount make a difference whether it's $10 or $1000.
