Big news from Jappineh Health Centre
On Saturday 23rd May 2026, two of our long serving junior staff, Mankebba Darboe and Binta Njardo, completed their two year community health nursing diplomas. The graduation ceremony was held in Mansakonko at the Nursing School. Attended by the Governor, Iman, Head of the Regional Health Authority and many others. Representatives of the AOT included Kemo Bah and Ansumana Manjang who has been the OIC (officer in charge) of the Health Centre ever since it opened in 2009.
We are hoping that at least one of these individuals will progress to the Midwifery Course immediately.

AGM 2024 – Report
The Trust’s 2024 AGM was held on Sunday 6 October, but not without some technical problems.
Our apologies to all those supporters who were unable to join us online for this event. Challenging personal circumstances meant that the original Zoom link no longer worked as we expected it to, and while we were able to get a new link to some of our supporters, we recognise that we didn’t reach everyone on the day, with others not able to stay on for the rescheduled session due to time constraints.
You can access below the documents that were presented and discussed at the AGM, along with minutes of the discussion. If you had registered to attend the AGM but were unable to do so because of these technical problems, please do submit any questions that are not covered here by email to [email protected].
Thank you for your continued support, and your understanding in what were unexpected and difficult circumstances.
