At Smiling Coast Foundation, we believe that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. We are thrilled to accept donated goods that can bring immense joy and utility to African children and their families. Your recycled items can make a world of difference, turning everyday objects into precious resources for those in need.
Why Donate Your Recycled Goods?
Donating your gently used or recycled items is a simple yet powerful way to support our mission. Whether it’s clothing, school supplies, toys, or household items, your contributions can make a significant impact on the lives of Gambian children. By giving these items a second life, you help create sustainable change and spread happiness across communities.
How to Send Your Goods
It is possible to send goods to Gambia via flight or boat. We ensure that all sent items are picked up and delivered to the desired location, reaching the right person who needs them the most. Whether you want to send your items to a specific individual or trust us to distribute them where they are needed, we accommodate your wishes.
Detailed Instructions for Sending Goods
The process of sending goods varies depending on your location and the items you wish to donate. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs and receive detailed instructions. Here’s a brief overview for donors in the United States and the Netherlands:
From the United States: Please contact us directly to arrange the shipment of your goods. We will guide you through the process and ensure your donations reach Gambia efficiently.
From the Netherlands: We collaborate with the foundation “Gambia For You,” which organizes regular pick-ups and has various depot spots across the country. Every month, 3 to 4 containers are shipped to Gambia, taking approximately two months to arrive. The boxes are then available for pickup at the harbor in Banjul. “Gambia For You” focuses on banana box-sized donations, costing around 7 euros per box. For larger items, please contact us for further assistance.
