The Ready Steady Go Foundation was established in 2022 as a natural continuation of 4 years of work by our Volunteers. We had already been working for the Gambian community since 2018, organising support in the form of school aids and educational workshops for children. Our mission was born out of the need to provide help where it is needed most - in schools, on the streets and in the homes of the local community.
Since the foundation's establishment, we have partnered with Mission Gambia, joining forces in educational and social activities. Our projects are diverse, but always guided by the heart and the need for support. In addition to providing educational materials, we focus on organising charity collections (financial and in-kind), supporting local schools, tackling animal homelessness and fighting the dangerous disease rabies.

Our activities include initiatives such as:

Artists for Gambia

We organise charity auctions featuring both Polish and Gambian artists. We buy local handicrafts such as paintings, bracelets or figurines, supporting the artists and donating the funds to aid causes.

The Suitcase Action

The donations collected by the Foundation are transported to The Gambia thanks to our volunteers who take them as luggage on their journeys.

The Animals Action

We carry out rabies vaccination and animal deworming and sterilisation programmes to tackle homelessness and disease in The Gambia.

Safe Routes to School

We carry out reflector collections and create educational materials to help make African roads safer for children.

Volunteer House

One of our biggest achievements is the construction of the Volunteer House, started in 2022 in Buiba Mandinka village. In 2023, this project was completed – the community centre and its equipment became a place where children can learn, play and develop their passions.

New Home for Teddy Bear

We organise collections of teddy bears and educational materials, which we donate to children in need, providing them with support and joy.

Aids for schools

We are currently supporting Roots Nursery School – a primary school on the coast that is struggling with a lack of funds for teacher pay and appropriate educational materials.

Educational workshops

We organise classes that not only support education but also raise children’s awareness of their safety, especially on the roads.

Dental visit

We combine dental care with educational workshops, teaching children the basics of oral hygiene.

Support for Kuba

Nasz podopieczny, Kuba, mimo zmagania się z nowotworem, wykazuje ogromną pasję i zaangażowanie w pomoc innym, w tym wolontariat w ramach naszej Fundacji (np. zbiórki odblasków). Pomagamy mu rozwijać jego zainteresowania oraz wspieramy go w pokonywaniu codziennych trudności związanych z chorobą.

Our mission is not just about action - it is about building bridges between cultures and communities. With each new initiative, we create a space where education, health and safety become accessible to everyone. We believe that every support matters, and that together we can change the future for the better.
