Karmic Angels is a charitable organisation with an increasingly deepening root in this country.

Founded and registered by a British couple, Stephanie and Alan, with the sole aim of helping the less privileged in the society The duo have been involved in tremendous fundraising effort back home in the United Kingdom.

They just arrived  in The Gambia after a 3 month's absence. Speaking to Daily Observer, during a visit to our offices, last Monday, the couple gave a detailed account of what inspired their services to the Gambian people. "We are not just here on missionary missions, she said, "we are here to serve communities in need in the country," she said. Stephanie said she had always yearned to come to The Gambia after having come across the country's history.

Their urge to serve the poor communities, she added, had resulted from a visit they embarked on to a clinic at Kubuneh Village, Western Region, during their first visit in the country, last March 2008. That visit saw the couple support a project that saw the installation of 4 stand pumps, costing D40, 000. The current plans of the organization include the possibility of installing a new solar power electricity generator at the village clinic.

Madam Stephanie went on to disclose that they have also been able to extend a hand to the two nursery schools in the villages of Busumbala and Mandinaring, both in the Western Region. Meanwhile, Karmic Angels are currently working on a bigger project that will see them invest in more nursery schools in Farato, in the Western Region, and Jakoto in Niamina.

Also to benefit from this project in the pipeline are St Peter's Church in Lamin and the people of Bakoteh where they intend to construct a borehole, amongst various others. Recounting her impression of President Jammeh, Stephanie said that their mission was purely in line with the vision of the Gambian leader, whose goals are clearly stated in the Vision 2020 blue print; ranging from health care, agriculture and education, amongst a host of others.  

"We have a great love for this country, and as we leave our children behind, we hope to deliver to the highest point.  

For Alan, Stephanie's husband, helping the needy is a matter of conscience. He said that if one goes around the world they are bound to discover situations which need help. "Under such situation, you are bound to assist. You must assist," he stressed. According to him, this is all about awareness, pointing out that the more trustworthy people they get involved, the more assistance they will render.
