Wullingkama Jawharr Orphanage was the first official project of the Reachout Gambia Team.
The Wullingkama Jawharr Memorisation Center was set up over 13 years ago by Ustadh Mamudu Singhateh. Over the years, orphans and children from poor and needy communities came there to memorize the Holy Qur'an. Ustadh Singhateh now has over 83 boys at the Center with a significant number of orphans. The memorization center churns out 6 Hafidhul Qur'an annually.
In June 2018, Reachout Foundation launched an appeal for the Wullingkama Jawharr Orphanage, to raise funds for the children's living quarters, to help support them with a feeding program and general welfare support.
ABOUT WULLINGKAMA
The orphanage houses all boys ages ranging from 4 years to 22 years. Some are orphans, others from poor backgrounds and others abandoned. At first contact, last year, the orphanage was housing over 83 boys across three rooms, 2 of which were 4m by 4m. They were in dire need of clean drinking water, food, bedding and structural upkeep and better toilet facilities.
