GambiaRising helps low-income Gambians to better themselves through their own work - primarily through scholarships and financial assistance to Gambian students, especially girls, who otherwise might not be able to stay in school. We work in all regions of the country, but with a focus on remote rural regions, with all ages of students, without regard to religion, gender, or tribal background. Our only criteria are character and need, and the amount of difference that our support will make in recipients' lives. Where the absence of a school was the main barrier to education, we have also funded construction of 5 rural schools, usually by providing materials for a village to build its own school. All staff are volunteers, so that 100% of donations directly support students.

Books for Development addresses the book famine that prevents children and adults in many developing countries from learning to read. We do this by building library collections since we believe that the best contribution you can make to people’s development is to promote their literacy. As a non-profit, we take donated books, use volunteers to sort them and then ship them to poor countries to create libraries. We leverage our efforts--using free labor and donated books that might otherwise be dumped in a land fill. Books for Development was formerly known as Good Steward Global Initiative.

Harvest Children’s Home (HCH) is a real home for 50-70 orphaned children. They sing, play, dream and hope, but 1 thing they don’t have to wonder about any more is: “where do I belong?” Before HCH these children were destitute, lacking the most basic necessities of life. Now they have nutritious meals, clean water, spiritual care, a good education and plenty of love! Their hope is restored!At HCH, we provide orphans with a new family – a multitude of “brothers” and “sisters,” and a caring staff to see that they’re loved and well supervised; a new hope – security, stability and a Christian faith they can build their lives on; and a new future – far different than before - receiving education, skills training and all that they need to succeed.
