As a part of the Trust's humanitarian programme, in the February 1998 the
Trust responded to an appeal made by Sierra Leone refugees residing at the Kerr Al-Hassan refugee Camp in the Upper
River Division of the Gambia. The refugees were assisted with sewing.
machines and carpentry tools for basic training and income generating purposes. The items were received by the
Anglican Mission Refugee Unit Consultant in Basse, and at that it was said that the refugee desperately needed
something to do for a living. Following the.
donation of these items the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in The Gambia recognised
the charitable activities of the Trust and commended it for the assistance rendered.
