Charity

Pageant - Pageant is a small UK based charity, which provides help with education in The Gambia. We have provided furniture and equipment to schools throughout The Gambia, and helped with the construction and renovation of classrooms, school kitchens, staff-rooms and sports facilities. Pageant provides a service whereby members can sponsor individual students to enable them to complete their education. Poor health can adversely affect students' educational attainments, so Pageant works with village communities in the fight against malaria - distributing mosquito nets, and encouraging the cultivation of Artemisia annua, a plant with proven anti-malarial properties. In the wider community Pageant is helping with adult literacy as well as providing micro-loans to enable women to start small businesses.

New leg for Modou Lamin

31 December 2010

Modou Lamin Jammeh is a six year old boy currently at Jambanjelly Nursery School in The Gambia. He has been one of Pageant’s sponsored pupils since 2008. Modou Lamin has a particular problem. He was born with a badly deformed right leg, permanently bent at the knee. This meant he was unable to walk, and got around on his knees. Orthopaedic surgeon Douglas Sammon decided that the best way to help Modou Lamin was to amputate his deformed leg below the knee and fit a prosthetic leg. This operation has been successfully carried out, Modou Lamin is making an excellent recovery, and is now getting about on crutches to strengthen his good leg. The next stage is for him to have a prosthetic leg fitted. Pageant has launched an appeal to raise £700 which will pay for his new leg to be made and fitted, together with any physiotherapy and other after care that is needed. Once he has his new leg, Modou Lamin can get on with living a normal life.
