Our Goals
The compound of the Sheikh Tihami Ibrahim Nyass Foundation is always a place of change, growth, and improvement. Since we established the clinic in 2009, and the children shelter in 2012, our work has become more and more professionell. With the help of many projects we have improved our standards step by step ever since.
Clinic
Expansion of the clinic
We continue to expand our clinic facilities. Is a long way to go, as it includes huge infrastructure development.
Further extension of laboratory
To top our last year’s achievment, the purchase of an automated blood analyzer, we are now looking for an automated testing machine.
Establishment of a X-ray-room
Last year, we came a little nearer that goal as we were donated with a x-ray-machine. Now, is our next step to build a x-ray-room, and to train nurses.
Professional Training for staff members
Currently, 5 of our nurse attendends (of which you see 4 in this picture) are undergoing an professional training in Nursery at the Hadigala College. We are so proud of them and look forward to having them with fresh skills in our clinic.
Compound
reconstruction of the kitchen
Last year our kitchen fell to an accident. It needs a better reconstruction to serve ca. 200 people with meals every single day.
Electricity – solar energy
The power demand of our compound is growing due to better clinical infrastructure, more patients and more children on the compound. On the other hand, climate change has its own demands on Gambia. We want to build a sustainable power supply with solar panels to prepare our compound for the future.
Children
More toilets and bathrooms for the boys
Assalam aleikum, dear sisters and brothers in Allah. I plead for your support: My sanitary infrastructure is over the limit: Our toilets at the Darra were once designed for 80 children. But currently, about 170 live with me, because now, we are known throughout The Gambia. Every day I get calls from parents or relatives who want to put a child in care. That’s why we are building 6 toilets and 2 shower rooms. Thus, we maintain our standard of hygiene despite the cramped living conditions. Please, help me to protect our children from preventable diseases. If you want to be part of it: no amount is too small. I am grateful for anything you donate for our noble course. May Allah reward you richly and be pleased with you.
Darra Donation Pool: for education and food security
Each year, our school fees increase, because our children grow fast and also we have more children under care than last year. Therefore, fundraising for schoolfees is one of our general tasks. The other general task is food security. We need one bag of rise each day.
Establishment of a sewing class
If everything goes the right way, and the pandemic doesn’t disturb further, we will try and open a sewing classroom. For that goal, we keep some sewing machines on hold. Sewing class is meant to give our children additional skills that would prove useful in their future. We are looking for the best solution.
