Arrived! The container that our volunteers loaded with goods at the beginning of August has arrived at the thrift shop of Karamba Saidybah in Soma, The Gambia! As you can see in the movie Karamba sent us, they immediately started unloading!
Another container loaded
Loading a container is hard work, especially with these temperatures. But Teun, Niesje, Erik, Wim, Coen and Annelien have done the job again! This time the container contains a.o. school furniture of the Bernhard School Ermelo, computers of the Goede Herderschool
and sewing machines for Isatou! The container is expected to arrive in Soma at the end of August.

Sponsor a scholar!
Going to school as a child is not a matter of course everywhere. Also in The Gambia many children do not get a chance to learn due to lack of money. Almost 80% of the population in The Gambia is unemployed and if there is income, it is often no more than € 20, – per month. With your help Karamba Foundation can ensure that more children can go to school. How can it be done?
For only € 5,00 a month, you can support a child so he or she gets the chance to go to school. In addition to one year of schooling, the child also receives a uniform, shoes and a school bag. But also a donation is always welcome.
Become a sponsor
To become a sponsor, just click the button below and choose the option “S€pa direct debit” (you can adjust the amount of money) or choose one of the other options.

School supplies wanted!
To fill the pensil cases for the children in Toniataba, we are eagerly looking for all kinds of school supplies, such as erasers, pencil sharpeners, scissors, pens, pencils etc. Can you help us?
Nice aprons
Besides bags and pen cases, we also make and sell aprons. You can even order them with your (company) name embroidered on them! For example, we have already made aprons for the employees of Koping Flora in Ermelo. The proceeds from the sale of the aprons, which are available from € 8.50, will go entirely to our foundation. Interested or need more information? You can reach us at info@stichtingkaramba.

Pen cases for school children in Toniataba
From the pieces of cloth that remain after making the bags (see our previous post), volunteers Marina van Veen and Bep de Vries make pen cases for the school children in Toniataba, Gambia. We fill the cases with pens and pencils, donated by Open Doors. Do you have any school supplies left? We will be very happy with them!

We’ve received printers
Jan van den Berg Makelaardij & Hypotheken gave us two very nice professional printers, including a whole stock of cartridges! The first one has already been transported to The Gambia and will probably arrive at the end of June, the second will be transported with the next container.
Jan van den Berg Makelaardij & Hypotheken thanks a lot, the school in Toniataba is very happy with it!

At the beginning of March the “Goede Herderschool” gave us no less than 30 computers for the school in Toniataba! Volunteer Wim of “De Zaak van Ermelo“, is busy preparing all computers for use in The Gambia.
We would like to thank the Goede Herderschool for this generous gift, we are very happy with it!
