FUNDING FOR ESSENTIAL EQUINE HOSPITAL
My name is Emma Meadmore and I am the UK administrator for The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust. I have set up a campaign to raise funds for The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust to enable us to complete the building of an essential equine hospital in an urban area of The Gambia.
The centre is nearly built but funds are desperately needed to finish this ground breaking centre which will help to vastly improve the welfare of the working equines in this region. The centre will be significant by educating and increasing the Gambian veterinary capacity and providing training opportunities for overseas vets so that they can provide the support that these animals and their owners in this coastal region of the Gambia are sadly lacking. The equine hospital will provide stabling for 25 in-patients, offices, a visitor centre and a lecture room together with accommodation for volunteers, students and staff.
Here is what a contribution can help towards:
Installing solar power, fencing and poles, glass for windows, stable fittings including mosquito netting, paint, rubber matting, sand, cement, hay to fill the barn, wages for local labour, plumbing and electrical installations, transport costs. Our biggest expense will be £10,000 that is needed to roof the new stable blocks.
If you are able to help with a donation that would be wonderful, but at the very least please could I ask you to share the fundraising link with friends or on your social media pages so that as many people as possible know about it. There are so many animals in desperate need that do not have access to veterinary care and their owners are anxiously awaiting the opening of this centre so we need to get it done as soon as possible so that we can help to alleviate the problems with equine welfare that we see.
