Project Report | Apr 23, 2007
Freedom for a Gambian village

By Rachel Harrington | Fundraising and Communications Manager

A remote Gambian community is now benefiting from improved access to healthcare, thanks to the work of Riders for Health and the generosity of our supporters.

Located in the remote Central River Division, the rural community of Jahangka is isolated by poor roads and harsh terrain. Villagers had previously used horse carts to take people to the nearest hospital, ten miles away, but now they are the proud owners of a new Uhuru community vehicle.

Download the full report below to find out more about the Jahangka Uhuru, including how it saved the life of baby Ibrahim Jagne and his mother, Matty.
