Our Migration and Displacement Unit participated in the National Dialogue on Migration.
The team shared GRCS’s expertise in providing humanitarian assistance and protection services, contributing to a more humane and dignified approach to managing migration.
@GambiaRedCross trained 75 border officials nationwide in Basic First Aid & Psychological First Aid to better support migrants in distress.
Thanks to GID, @CruzRojaEsp, & Cabildo de Gran Canaria for the partnership in strengthening humanitarian response at borders.
When floods hit The Gambia in 2022, over 600 households received cash, healthcare & clean water from @GambiaRedCross. Climate disasters are displacing communities now — but local action is helping them adapt.

I am deeply grateful to be part of this significant monitoring visit across The Gambia with my supervisor, the Migration Officer of the Gambia Red Cross Society.
Evaluating our migration projects, connecting directly with our passionate volunteers and dedicated staff in the regions, and meeting our essential partners is an invaluable experience.
Migration is a global reality, and @GambiaRedCross remains committed to supporting people on the move & those in vulnerable situations.
Join us tomorrow at 17:30 GMT as we discuss humanitarian approaches, challenges, & solutions for migrants.

The GRCS held a retreat bringing together staff from HQ & branches for five impactful days of reflection, planning, & innovation.
The retreat focused on shaping the Annual Plan and Budget, aligning with the Unified Plan, and paving the way for a robust 2025–2030 Strategic Plan
Our DPO, PMER, Migration Officer and other relevant colleagues are currently in a field level monitoring visit on our migration programs across the country.
This visit is to measure the level of progress in our migration interventions, across the country.
The GRCS just concluded a 4 days training on Humanitarian Service Points for 37 volunteers & staff in its branches.
HSPs are safe, welcoming & neutral spaces where migrants can access essential services irrespective of their status.
@CruzRojaEsp & @ifrc supported this training
Communities are raising strong voices on the needs & vulnerabilities of migrants!
Hon. Momodou Sellu Bah, Basse Alkali emphasizes the value of Humanitarian Service Points & calls for more community engagement with #GRCS.
