"They live in Westminster, they must be worth a fortune" overheard at the GTS restaurant in Kololi

All GTS money is use to sponsor education or to develop work opportunities for Gambians.

All GTS projects aim to be fully self-sufficient to avoid any reliance on charity handouts. GTS charges for its services at fixed and reasonable prices - you may get cheaper, but other oganisations are not supporting their staff all year round or using their surpluses to sponsor children.

If you can help raise money towards a GTS project, we would really appreciate it, we'll get there anyway but faster would be nice.

Comments to GTS

So where does the money come from then?

• Annual membership subscriptions
• The GTS Bar and Restaurant in Kololi
• Tourist Sales via GTS Trading including Art sale commissions
• Taking members out into the local Gambian community
• Sales of all other services provided by GTS to members
• Commissions from sales of TAF houses
• One off gifts & donations from individuals and companies
• Members raising money from sponsored events
• Practical help of spare space in shipping containers for GTS items
• and continually money from our own pockets

This page was first written in 2003, the funding source pages above have been updated and now 10 years on from where we started we can see that some of teh sources have been more reliable than others, but all remain potential sources of income.

In 2005 GeTSuk was registered as a charity in the UK Reg No 1110998 and has taken over the control for all the Sponsorship and Educational Support that was a major part of GTS.

The GETS logo generally provides a hot link to the GETS website.

GTS still provides the office for GETS and is still implementing and controlling how GETS UK money is used in Gambia - the two are like Sisters and refer to each other as SISTER Charities.
