Mobiess Supports GHISP

Mobiess is proud to support The Gambia Hornchurch International Scout Project, a charitable organisation determined to facilitate change in the upper river region of The Gambia, in West Africa.

What is GHISP?

The Gambia Hornchurch International Scout Project (GHISP), is a remarkable initiative that focuses on developing a greater cultural understanding between both countries, young people, and improving scouting in the upper river region of the Gambia.

Founded in 2004 by a group of dedicated volunteers from Hornchurch in the United Kingdom, GHISP has been since working tirelessly to provide educational opportunities and personal development for young people.

This has led GHISP to organise expeditions with U.K scouts and volunteers to visit the Gambia, where they collaborate with local communities on various project to make a lasting impact on local communities The Gambia.

Recent Expeditions

In a recent trip in 2018, GHISP focused their efforts into the new land and Scout Centre they built back in 2014. In this trip GHISP installed toilet facilities, solar power and running water, facilitating the use of the conference centre for the local community of Basse in the upper river region.

Whilst continuing to share skills with Gambian scouts and the local school, GHISP also worked on the operating theatres of the local Maternity Unit. They helped renovate this previously unused space into a labour ward with more private areas, with the first baby being born here safely, not long after the expedition.

Fundraising Campaign

As part of our support for GHISP, our Managing Director, Karl Horner, who is personally involved in GHISP’s mission and will be participating in the upcoming trips to The Gambia this July, is undergoing a challenge to achieve 500km in the gym, in under 60 days in order to help raise vital funds for GHISP’s ongoing projects in The Gambia.

Mobiess aims to contribute to GHISP’s efforts in creating a positive change and improving the quality of life in The Gambia’s Upper River Region Community. In the upcoming expedition, GHISP aims to upgrade facilities at the local scout centre, making it more accessible for members of the community alongside some projects and skill sharing with locals.
