Welcome To Hart House in The Gambia

There is no doubt that all Gambian children (and any other child for that matter) have the right to be protected, educated, and cared for, the mentally challenged (people with learning difficulties) are no exception.

Hart House is an officially registered charity that runs a residential respite home located in The Gambia and was initiated in 2001 by Mr. Geoff Hunwicks, a British national, assisted by a local committee and is voluntary and charitable.



HART HOUSE'S AIMS ARE:

To provide residential short-term respite care for Gambian children with learning difficulties.

To asses the developmental level of the children and to encourage them to reach their full potential by offering a varied and stimulating programme of activities.

To give hard pressed Gambian families a break from caring and to give feedback where appropriate.

To exchange information with other organisations and institutions in The Gambia who are also engaged in activities of a similar nature.

To stimulate local and national awareness of children with learning difficulties by involving the local Gambian community, including local children, within the activities of the home.
