Champions of Change!
Mindset Explosion - Season 4, Episode 28
In today’s interview I am joined by Mama Chris (Chris Hayter).
Following a holiday in The Gambia, West Africa, Chris formed strong bonds with the people of Bakau and, with the help of local leaders, promoted several health and wellbeing initiatives through The Oasis Project, a charity she established in 2007. These included founding The Starlight School, which is now responsible for the education of over 200 children.
More recently, seeing the community suffer terrible flooding in the rainy season, and a consequent rise in malaria levels, again through The Oasis Project she galvanised locals to take part in a storm water management scheme, involving developing, repairing and clearing storm drains.
MKGU Rotary Club UK raised funding for the Bakau canal works. Collaborating with The Rotary Club of Fajara the local community leaders to deliver the project. As a result of Chris’s intervention, the town’s people have helped themselves, their homes are no longer subject to flooding and the amount of standing water has been reduced, with resulting malaria cases dropping significantly in the first year.
Make Today a Great Day
