Since January 2010, The Bush Homeopaths have been running biannual free mobile homeopathic clinics in The Gambia. The Bush Homeopaths are a group of UK based qualified homeopaths who are assisting a number of Gambian communities to improve their health through homeopathic treatment. We envision a future in which homeopathy will be recognised as an integral part of the Gambian healthcare system. The Bush Homeopaths' foremost objective is the relief and prevention of disease whilst working in co-operation with local communities. Our vision encompasses making homeopathy available to all communities as an affordable and valid form of health treatment. Our aim is to lay down a permanent base where homeopaths can spend longer periods of time in a cost effective manner. This would give us the opportunity to train local people and give them more consistent support. One of the villages has donated a plot of land for us to build a clinic, so convinced they are that homeopathy is appropriate and efficacious for them. We have raised enough funds to fence this land in and bring in a water supply. Our mission is, with your help, to build and furnish a clinic where we can not only treat more people but also train local Gambians to become qualified homeopaths and eventually run their own clinics.
