Plan Daycare


Daycare for children with double disabilities who cannot attend a regular school. Team TWM will take over the task of the Gambia Child Foundation and will take care of 6 children, three days a week.

After two years together, these children are a family who help and support each other. When one of the children has achieved an achievement, all children are happy. They also enjoy doing things together like blowing bubbles to the beach or playing ball games. We also try to organize the day in such a way that there is room for fun individually or together and to motivate and achieve skills. In addition, physiotherapy and other help will also be added, such as, hopefully, speech therapy in the future.

After two years, the Gambia Child foundation has decided not to continue with the collaboration and to rent our location to start up new projects elsewhere. The stated reason of the foundation is that the Daycare is too expensive and contrary to their vision. She wanted a different solution for the Daycare children. We at the Three Wild Monkeys and our volunteers know that there is no other solution for these children in The Gambia. Together we agree that this group should not be separated after two years. The foundation eventually handed over the children to us without any resources, any financial support and/or compensation.

Hopefully we can count on your support so that Daycare continues to exist.

Daycare kids


Sally: Down syndrome sturdy lady who likes to do chores and cooperate. She comes from kotukala school where she did nothing and little attention was paid to her. Her skills were not stimulated here. We do just that in daycare. Mental age approx. 6 years

Final goal: Self-reliance by taking on chores independently so that she is appreciated in a compound. Keeping her moving because of her excess weight.

Gaz: Spastic and can only work with one foot. Comes from second home but she didn't get the attention she needs there. You can talk to her mentally. In the compound, only her mother looks after her in the evening because mother has to work. Gaz needs to be fed so that means she often only gets food in the evening.

Final goal: For Gaz there is no end goal and normal school is not possible. We want to give her a pleasant time as long as possible and motivate her skills such as painting with her foot. Gaz is the oldest and important to the group. She helps us to communicate well with the other children in their own language.

Mohamed: Mental age approx. 3 to 4 years has a sister who is also mentally and physically handicapped. She does not get further than 1 yr mentally and is very dependent on her mother. Mohamed is with us purely to relieve the parents. He can't walk but there are good muscles present that have never been stimulated. The intention was to use physio. Unfortunately, this was not continued by the foundation. A normal school is not possible for him.

Final goal: Using physio so that Mohamed becomes more mobile. He is already practicing with a walker and has a lot of fun with it. There are already discussions with physiotherapists who want to tackle this. Offer activities he enjoys such as throwing a ball, etc.

Assan: A cheerful boy who is mentally easy to talk to. Assan comes from Harthouse where she used a standard up to 14 years. That is why Assan came to us. Geof van harthouse came by regularly to give advice, but unfortunately Geof passed away recently. Assan is in a wheelchair and would like to practice with the walker. Physio would also be used for him, but unfortunately was not continued either.

Final goal: Using physio to make Mohamed more mobile and to motivate and develop his skills more. A tricycle bike is recommended by the physiotherapist to practice with him.

Ebrima: A cheerful boy who is mentally easy to talk to. Assan comes from Harthouse where she used a standard up to 14 years. That is why Assan came to us. Geof van harthouse came by regularly to give advice, but unfortunately Geof passed away recently. Assan is in a wheelchair and would like to practice with the walker. Physio would also be used for him, but unfortunately was not continued either.

Final goal: Using physio to make Mohamed more mobile and to motivate and develop his skills more. A tricycle bike is recommended by the physiotherapist to practice with him.

Abdu: Was a shy little boy who cried at first because he wanted to go home. He didn't talk much. Abdu quickly got used to it and feels at home in the daycare. He is now trying to join but still has trouble speaking. Despite that, he manages to make himself clear. Together with his friend Ebrima he feels strong and they are two rascals together.

Final goal: Resilience, self-reliance and further expand his skills. Increase concentration.
