The Next Big Steps for BFiG Busumbala Nursery School

The Next Big Steps for BFiG Busumbala Nursery School
There’s a lot happening at BFiG Busumbala Nursery School right now — and in this new video, I talk through all the next big steps. And trust me… there are quite a few!

From strengthening our monthly income so we can continue paying our two wonderful teachers, Mariama (Sibo) Fatty and Mariama (Aja) Jaiteh, to preparing to open our third and final classroom, the vision is growing. We are building something sustainable in Busumbala — not just classrooms and walls, but opportunity, stability and hope for local families. Every improvement we make directly impacts the children who greet us each morning with “I saama!” and leave calling “Fo saama!”

We Need Businesses, Companies & Schools to Get Involved
Individual donations have carried us this far — and we are incredibly grateful. But to secure the school’s long-term future, we now need partnerships with:
- Businesses
- Companies
- Corporate sponsors
- More UK schools
- Community organisations
If you work for (or know of) a business that supports education, international development, or community projects, please share this video with them. Even one new partnership could make the difference between maintaining what we have… and expanding what we can offer.
Corporate support could help us:
- Employ a third teacher
- Improve classroom resources
- Develop our school garden and school grounds
- Build a bantaba in the grounds for sitting and shelter (see Bantaba in Gambia)
- Build a Watch Man hut
- Build a resources classroom and library
- Strengthen long-term financial security

Please Watch to the End
This video isn’t just an update. It’s a roadmap for the future of the school — and a heartfelt invitation to be part of it.
If you can introduce us to a company, share the video, or start a conversation, it could genuinely change lives in Busumbala.
Thank you, as always, for walking this journey with Building Futures in The Gambia. The next chapter starts now.
