1to3 are a charity that supports the community of Wellingara in the Gambia. 1to3 was founded by Meg Lyon and her late husband Ken in 2000 after a holiday trip to Gambia in November 1998. They visited a nursery school in Wellingara, where 150 children between the ages of 3 and 7, were working in tiny, hot, dark classrooms with few learning resources and poor sanitation. Meg and Ken were so affected by what they saw that they felt moved to do something to help improve the situation. They decided to raise money to build a new nursery school at a different site and sponsor a child. This was the beginning of 1to3 which registered as a charity in 2000. Since then it has grown and grown and the Wellingara Community Nursery School now provides education and support to over 400 children in Wellingara village.
In 2005 building began on a health centre to support the community. This has been a tremendous boost to the community but more donations are required to finish the building and fit-out. Please visit our website to find out more and help save lives.
