Healthy Communities Program
Jileng Kunda Project supports innovative solutions to improve the health of people living in underdeveloped communities in The Gambia.
We understand how poor health detrimentally affects developing communities around the world. Some of the world's most deadly diseases are also the most preventable and treatable.
We work with our partners to deliver solutions that equip healthcare workers with the tools and training needed to provide high-quality, sustainable, and comprehensive services. We also provide medical supplies to hospitals and clinics.
Supporting Communities During COVID-19 Pandemic
Jileng Kunda Project is responding to the impact of the pandemic on the health systems in The Gambia by procuring critical medical PPE supplies for healthcare workers across the country. With the unwavering support of our Angel Tribe donors, Jileng Kunda Project was able to provide much needed essential COVID PPE supplies to Fass Ngaja Choi Community Clinic. These included masks, gloves, and hand sanitizers.
We also supports innovative solutions to prevent maternal and newborn deaths, injuries and complications resulting from pregnancy and childbirth. Overwhelmed or collapsed healthcare systems leave pregnant women with little to no access to skilled birth attendants, or healthcare services during pregnancy and child-brith.
“In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.”
