"My passion to work with a charity is to ensure we attain sustainable development where we build a world comfortable for each and everyone of us. I strongly believe that social development can be achieved through social justice,when our social services are equally directed to all for enjoyment without discrimination. Instead we need to realise that we are all connected. Poverty have been the main threat against sustainable development so my role as a social worker is to alleviate the poor who do not have the same choices and create a healthy environment for themselves, limiting their freedom to make choices additionally." 

All children have needs that go beyond learning standards curriculum concepts, such as reading, writing and numeracy. For the poorest, however, meeting other needs is critical if they are to succeed in the school system. These include: Physical needs, cognitive needs, social and emotional needs, school and attendance needs.

The basic needs of food, health care, shelter and clothing, should be dealt with first. Education is hampered by health issues such as malnutrition, sanitation, illness and, lack of proper health care. Charity Pearl believed children need enough food to concentrate and not to be prone to different diseases due to hunger and lack of essential nutrients.

Lacking cognitive stimulation in the early years, poor children often lag behind their peers in academic achievement, and particularly with regard to language development. The poorest child might not have a television at home, but she, or he, is likely to be familiar with traditional stories. She, or he, may not have piped water where she, or he, lives but she or he would know the difference between ‘clean and dirty water’.

On this basis, Charity Pearl – The Gambia identified education as a key to poverty eradication. As a global agenda, the role of education in poverty eradication must go beyond literacy skills and school enrolment, to empowering people to take charge of their lives, and be active participants in social and economic development.

To ensure education for all our goals are to strengthen and improve early childhood education, good quality primary education for all children, meeting their learning needs and improving all aspects of the quality of education through the funding mechanisms as a encouraging measure collaborating with parents and guardians in local communities.

The Charity’s work is centered on the development of kids. Motivating them to and empowering them at all times. Been the case, our slogan is ‘Kids are the world, let them play’. As the famous saying goes, ‘all work no play makes Jack a doll boy’. On that note, Charity Pearl strongly thinks all children of the world must enjoy and have time to play at any given time without refrain.
