Our Latest activities & Projects
Fandema Football Field Fencing Project
The Sanyang UK Association has contributed £500 towards the fencing of the Fandema Football Field, a key community iniative in Sanyang. This project was approved at the October 2022 General Meeting, with funds disbursed once it was confirmed that the fencing works had commenced.
The field plays a vital role in fostering sports and community engagement, and fencing it will enhance its functionality and safety.
Sanyang Health Centre Support Project
Supporting our only Health Centre was agreed at all last 3 SUKA General Meetings.
We contacted the Health Centre after our October 2018 and April 2019 General Meetings to provide us with a list of items/materials or areas the Health Centre needed support. We never received this list despite several follow ups by the association.

At the SUKA General Meeting in October we agreed that the estimate was too much for a school Kitchen and we agreed to donate D50,000 Gambian Dalasis.
