About the School:

Miss Joyce’s International Nursery School provides education, care and support for more than 360 Gambian children, from three to eight years of age.

Opened in 2000, the school is located in the village of Kumkujang in Western Gambia.
Miss Joyce’s operates weekdays from 8am until 1pm. The school’s founder and namesake, Joyce Avard, has, in an extraordinary one-woman fundraising campaign, financed the construction of a village well on the school site and later the school.

During the summer of 2005 we constructed toilet and kitchen facilities so that they could extend the length of the school day and provide a much needed mid-day meal and sanitary facilities.
Efforts are also underway to encourage individual sponsorships for each or the 360 children at the school.
Please get involved and help!
