Tankular is a tiny small village located along the shore of river Gambia (west Africa) which leads to the Atlantic ocean. Her people have struggled for several decades with lack of healthcare services. Illnesses such as malaria, TB, High blood pressure, diabetes, Lung cancer, respiratory infections, and all sorts of wound infections etc… are the “order of the day”. Countless number of folks have died and continue to die due to lack of access to healthcare services. This is primarily due to a lack of any form of health care service in the village. As a philantropist and a native of Tankular village, I have founded a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization to change that. Sam Taal Global Foundation was founded in 2015 (Named in memory of my late father who died in Tankular due to an unknown cause back in 2002) to help Improve the deteriorating health condition of folks in Tankular village and surrounding.
The Tankular Village Health Center Project started in early 2017 from donations made from great Samaritans all around the world. As of July 2019, the building structures are almost complete which will lead us into the roofing phase. This stage of construction is a very expensive undertaking so we are desperately seeking donations from all and sundry .
Last year, our Team of volunteer medical professionals from Massachusetts USA headed to Tankular to bring some sort of hope in the form of medical services to the village . The medical Mission Team were well received by the folks of Tankular. Our Team treated over 700 sick folks on the ground.
In the summer of 2020, we hope and anticipate to complete the project and inaugurate the health center with another medical Mission Trip.
Although there is hope, there is still a lot of work to be done and money to be raised to finally bring healthcare access to Tankular village. We are therefore kindly asking for your help in making this dream a reality for the people of Tankular.
