In July 2023, the family home was devastated by torrential rain. AGA, through the Hidden Truth Family, raised a sum of £450 to help the family in returning to at least a basic standard of living.
Omar Saidy thanked AGA and Hidden Truth Family and community members for their generosity and prayed that God continues to bless them.
He recalled that it all started when Kebba Banja, AGA Gambia Team President, visited the family in Bafuloto.
Jarra Colley, Omar's mother, stated that since the unfortunate incident, they had sought refuge with their neighbours. She added that the windstorm destroyed their roof, while the rain destroyed most of their belongings and food stuffs.
AGA is a household name in providing assistance to Gambian communities in times of need.
The UK/Gambia Registered Charity has previously donated food, cash, and reusable items to Gambians. AGA's humanitarian action is always done for the benefit of the community.
Throughout the years, AGA UK/Gambia has given Gambian families sacks of rice, cooking oil, onions, and Iftar bread during the holy months of Ramadan. They also provided clothing, household items and toiletries to communities and individuals in the most need including persons with disabilities.
AGA is a group of dedicated volunteers from the UK and The Gambia who provided food to the public who were unable to work and feed their families during the Covid-19 pandemic's isolation.
Since 2017, Altogether Giving Africa has organised a yearly Health Awareness Day at Old Jeshwang Health Centre (AOJ) in collaboration with AOJ. The Health Awareness Day, gives the charity the opportunity to support AOJ to provide free medical services and consultation to hundreds of people.
This annual calendar event creates awareness about health concerns such as Diabetes and High Blood Pressure, as well as Infection Control prevention.
The non-profit organisation based in the United Kingdom and The Gambia stay committed to demonstrating the values of Altogether Giving Africa (AGA) and ensuring that every donation benefits the people in Africa, particularly The Gambia.
