Yalding Basic Cycle School Farato 

The school vision is to be a model of educational excellence for all Gambian Nursery and Basic Cycle Schools.

Our 
Mission

By ensuring that out teachers are well trained and supported, backed up by a professional and enthusiastic approach from all staff, we endeavour to give every pupil, whatever their ability, gender, religion or background, a broad education that will send them out into the world as independent learners with a thirst for knowledge, a respect for their fellow beings and an example to future generations.

Our 
Story

"We are giving children an education that supports The Gambia’s future."

In 1996 we visited the village of Farato and under a mango tree saw a group of village children chanting the alphabet back to their teacher. We knew we could do something to help but never believed our journey would take off as it did.
