New Classroom at St Paul’s School
In November 2024, we proudly opened a new, modern classroom at St Paul’s School in Sanyang, The Gambia. Funded entirely by our generous donors, this £12,000 project marks N2BN’s first fully project-managed classroom build.
A Better Education for Everyone
N2BN connected the entire St Paul’s School to electricity, wiring all buildings and installing essential fixtures. The buildings now benefit from ceiling fans, internal and external lighting, security lights and power points across all classrooms.

What Our BENEFICIARIES Say
On behalf of the Catholic Education Secretariat, the community, the students of St Paul’s as well as the teachers and myself as Headmaster, I wish to thank Nice to be Nice for generously donating another 10 latops. This gives our students the opportunity to acquire life changing skills.
Victal Bass
Headmaster, St Paul's School, Sanyang, The Gambia
Nice to be Nice have supported the last three schools where I have been the Headmaster since 2014. They have allowed us to greatly increase pupil numbers by providing food for school meals, school uniforms, school materials, books, sports equipment and funding for projects including school building upgrades. I cannot thank them enough for the impact their work has on improving life chances of Gambian children.
