How GETSuk Began

As a result of a holiday in 1997 the Glynn family established a unique charity in the Gambia - Gambia Tourist Support.The simple aim was to create much needed employment and training opportunities for Gambian people,thus affording them the dignity of supporting their families.
Eventually, working with a local community, GTS was able to actually build a school, staff it with Gambian teachers and arrange the support of visiting volunteers.

The need for two separate (but mutually supportive) charities became obvious.
1) Gambia Tourist Support - To raise, maintain, develop and manage the funds for current and future employment opportunities by supporting tourists in The Gambia

2) Gambia Education and Teaching Support -To raise, manage and maintain funds for the current and future educational projects by building a supportive membership

GETSuk is now a separate UK registered charity, but one which is mutually supportive to the original Gambian registered charity - Gambia Tourist Support (GTS)
