In the Gambia, children can find themselves alone and unaccompanied as migrants, in transit, or in markets after having left home due to maltreatment. The Gambia Red Cross supports unaccompanied and separated children by helping them access essential services such as healthcare, mental health and psychosocial support, food, clothing, Restoring Family Links, and referring them to local social welfare services for shelter and guardianship. In addition, the Red Cross assists unaccompanied and separated children to access schooling through fees, clothing and supplies, and working with administrators to help children accommodate into new learning environments.
