Carol Pearce first visited the country in 1998. During her time there she witnessed first-hand the extreme poverty and death that is the norm for ordinary Gambians.
Carol also realised the impact just a small amount of help can have on whole communities. Winged Dreams was born.
More visits followed, and in 2013 Winged Dreams became a registered charity. We sponsor individual children as well as small communities in Gambia through our local Ambassadors, and projects such as Football and our small business grants.
