He said the contribution has already helped assist more than 200 households across the North Bank and Lower River regions as part of a wider target to reach 1,000 households.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Welfare, Fatou Kinteh, said the funds allocated to the ministry will support the government-run shelter for vulnerable children in Bakoteh. \u201cThis support is going in the right direction,\u201d she said, noting that the facility provides feeding, healthcare, education, and accommodation for children in need.<\/p>\n<p>She said government support alone is not enough to meet demand, stressing the importance of partnerships with the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Kinteh assured that the funds would be used for their intended purposes and expressed commitment to continued collaboration with Comium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Gambia<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
