Information:
ISRA is a registered non-governmental organisation engaged
in financing of community programmes and education of
youth. It is often engaged in assisting vulnerable Gambian
street children who often beg on the streets with food,
clothing, life skills training and basic education sometimes
channelled through Koranic schools or Majalis.
According to research in 2006 it has been found that
around 60% of street children, or Almudus as they are
locally known, are from other countries in the West
Africa sub-region. They are often sent out to beg for
money by their Marabout (religious teacher).
