GYFA X SPOT

SPOT - Supporting the people of tomorrow

SPOT is a charity that has carried out a phenomenal amount of humanitarian work in The Gambia. They have established a state-of-the-art boarding school for orphans, which also acts as a school for the local community. They also support Gambian communities with national water projects, relief during the Covid outbreak and the recent floods. SPOT arrange food donations for the poor and needy families in The Gambia, built a school for girls and have supported orphans with higher education.

As an organisation that operates in The Gambia with a HQ in the UK, GYFA have always been aware of the great work SPOT have been carrying out. With mutual aims of bettering the Gambian community, primarily through youth development, GYFA have always been keen to collaborate.

It was a great pleasure to host the boys from the SPOT orphanage for a friendly at our training ground. The match was played in good spirits and seeing the boys integrate while they recovered after the game was amazing for us as an organisation. We were then invited to the beautiful SPOT grounds for another game which again was a great experience for all involved.

We’re delighted to have a few trainees at GYFA from the SPOT project currently training with us and hope we can continue to forge a strong relationship between our respective organisations moving forward.
