Darra Donation Pool
Here, we pool all donations in cash and in kind that are to benefit the child protection house (Darra) of the Sheikh Tihami Ibrahim Nyass Foundation. A common donation pool guarantees that all children are supported equally, regardless of whether they live here short or long time, need all-round care or „just“ a roof over their heads.

Why a pool instead of single sponsorships?
We strongly believe that, only pooled donations give all children an equal and common sense of being welcome and worth the support. And, as we usually don’t know for how long a given child will live with us, pooled donation doesn’t favor longterm children on expenses of shortterm children.
A donation pool enables quick responds to changing needs. It reduces adminstrative work, and still provides as much transparency as every donor deserves.
Why no direct Donations to the Darra from here?
Because, Gambia’s banks do not belong to the EURO zone. Thus, we neither have IBAN nor PayPal. Instead, we are partnering with GBG e.V. – Gesundheit und Bildung Gambia e.V. (Health and Education Gambia Association). Find HERE all transparency information of the GBG Association.
How does it work
100% of all donations are transferred to our hands. We receipe every donation, it may be cash or in kind. And we prove it by texting our sponsors, adding photos of the transfer and the use. Administrative costs are completely covered by GBG e.V..
The pool is filled with profits of the Foundation’s clinic, and by donations. While clinic’s revenues depend on external circumstances and are always threatened by unexpected collaps of incoming patients, committed longterm donors save a substantial part of the children’s shelter montly expenditures.
