Our Mission
Our Founder
Founded by Chris Bialan, Affinity Vision is a support network of people, tools and resources for third sector members to access.
In 2015, Chris started sponsoring five pupils at the Jofi School in The Gambia. Chris was so taken with the fantastic work at Jofi School that he linked his care home company in the UK, Affinity Care Group, to the school. Each of the six care homes in the Affinity Care Group sponsored six children, 36 in total. Through Chris’ relationship with Jofi School, he met what he’s come to call his ‘family’.
Our Mission
Meet The Family
The family are a group of other charitable organisations that often work together to support the most vulnerable in The Gambia. Through his work with the Jofi School, Chris met Jackie from The GLOVE Project, Anita from Bansang Hospital, and Alpha from Alpha Community Health Care.
Our Mission
Sustainable Mission
Affinity Vision is a group of experts that can help and assist these organisations and ultimately, do ourselves out of a job. We don’t take a single penny of anyone’s donations, Affinity Vision is entirely funded by Chris. Affinity Vision’s aim is to build sustainable communities and to help all the members become as self-sufficient as possible without the need for us at all. Chris’ mission is for everyone to ‘have the power’.
