How YOU can help raise money for New Life Children`s Centres
You can help New Life Children`s Centres raise significant extra money every month at no cost to you!
On this website we have two links on the home page to `ask.com` and `e-bay`.When someone searches through the ask.com box on this site a share of the advertising revenue is given to NLCC and for successful purchases and items sold on e-bay a percentage of what e-bay takes is again given to NLCC! Great eh!
The shopping site.
When making purchases,booking holidays,renewing insurances etc on line, by going through `The Shopping Site` on our homepages, a percentage of what you spend is given to NLCC at no cost to you!
If hundreds of our sponsors across the country use this facility there is no reason why more than £1000 per month could not go to helping our children in that needy country.
Why does ask.com give money like this? Simply because it attracts people to use their site which means they can show themselves to businesses to be a widely accessed product.
Why does e-bay give money like this? E-bay gives money because it attracts people to bid and sell more which results in increased revenue for them and they pass on a percentage of the benefits to the charity.
Why not make the website your homepage or if you have an existing website then you can simply place the sponsored box on there and you will generate the same results.
Please...please support this project. Help us to make a difference for African children.Thank you so much!

New site for Manjai School
Due to the unsatisfactory conditions of the premises we rent in Manjai we have been looking at alternatives.
New Life owns the land and buildings on our Kanefing and Half-Dye sites but rents the others.
The premises at Manjai is close to a stream which floods in the rainy season resulting in snakes coming into the grounds of the school.
The area takes months after the rainy season ends before it is dry enough for the children to play outside.
Whilst still looking for finance to build our own school at Manjai we have found a suitable site not far from the existing one.
The landlord is in the process of building some classrooms and hopefully this will make a huge difference.

Extremely poor circumstances
Most of the children in the country live in extremely poor circumstances with less than basic facilities and minimum opportunities.
Many like this child in the photograph play all day in the dust and dirt often becoming victims of disease.
New Life Children`s Centres are giving such children opportunities of receiving a good education.
Some families survive by selling peanuts at the roadside. One of the first families, the Jallows used to sit with their children all day long in the blazing African sun!
We were able to offer the whole family an education through the sponsorship programme.
Most of the children are still in our schools today. Consider the difference made to these lives.

Old Jeshwang - site for new school identified
Following a visit to Gambia in May 2006, a potential site for a new school building in Old Jeshwang was identified. We are currently seeking funding to set up a new school in this needy area.
Old Jeshwang is a village on the banks of the River Gambia which relies totally on smoking the fish caught and selling it at the markets.During our visit we learned of a tragedy when several boats had capsized in the river, resulting in the deaths of eight men in that small community.
We met a man who had lost his three sons and a nephew and he encouraged us to provide opportunities for the children of the village.
We were able to provide the folk there with rice,oil and other produce to help them at that time.Also we were able to present the Akalo(chief) with some lifejackets that had been donated by a UK company.
It would take a HUGE donation to present every fisherman in the village with one! But who knows!

Meet the Jallow family
The children of this Muslim family include three sets of twins and another sibling, all attending our Tallinding school. There are eleven children altogether and the father has two wives.
They live in extremely poor circumstances in an old mud house where the children sleep on the floor!In the rainy season it is particularly bad when most of the house gets washed away. They have no electricity, no working toilets and the water which is unfit to drink is drawn from an old well in the compound.Drinking water from a tap is a distance away.
The family are so grateful to New Life for the opportunities given to their children, and they all came to the dedication service of the Junior Secondary School in February 2006.
