Ansumana Sano, GISPD country coordinator, said the organisation, registered in The Gambia in 2014, was founded by a UK-based Gambian by the name Ousman Jallow who is supporting Gambians worldwide.
Sano explained that the major focus of the organisation is supporting disabled children and children of disabled parents.They give support in the areas of education, health, mobility, among others.
Alagie Gaye of Gayenyoro Limited, for his part, thanked GISPD for the donation while calling on the government and the private sector to give more support to disabled children so that they can have a life like any other person.
Ali Sallah, head teacher at GOVI School, also expressed gratitude for the gesture saying out of the many Gambians in the diaspora, only a handful are supporting their communities back home.
Kalipha Saho, a board member of GISPD, said whatever little they can do, they will do it for the betterment of disabled children in The Gambia.
