The Gambia is one of the poorest countries in the world. Recent data estimates the poverty rate in rural parts of the country to be as high as 76% - i.e. in those areas over three quarters of the population live below the poverty line.<\/p>
<\/p>
This means, even though lower basic education is free in the country, hidden costs such as uniforms and books prevent children from attending school.\u00a0<\/p>
<\/p>
Education helps to raise people out of poverty, level inequalities and benefits individuals and society. Learning can also be really fun.<\/p>
