Govi Resource Centre for the Blind is the only school for the blind in the Gambia where visually impaired children in the Gambia have access to attend a special needs education school from pre-school up to grade 4 where they are later integrated into the mainstream schools to complete their education . The school came into existence in the 70s when there were two societies namely: The Gambia Society for the Blind and the Gambia Association of the Blind They work hard to see that visually impaired persons were given the access to be educated. The whole idea started when some of these children were given the chance to attend a mainstream education in Banjul where these children were integrated at Campama primary School then, and formally called Campama School for the Blind. Many visually impaired students had passed through this school and had now realised their goal of becoming independent through education.
