ChildFund International in Gambia
One of Africa's smallest countries, The Gambia relies on tourism dollars from its coastal resorts to keep its economy afloat.
It has few natural resources and many economic challenges that affect children, youth and women the most. ChildFund works in the west coast region, where most of the population lives below the poverty line.
ChildFund has served children in the Gambia since 1984.
