Our Team
Entirely women-led, we represent different experiences, backgrounds, interests and stories.
Our Donors
Being a non-profit organisation, we recognise the value of strategic partnerships and collaborative effort in driving change at all levels.
Our profound appreciation goes to every institution that has supported our work over the years. Without the financial, technical and moral support of our donors and development partners - past and present - our work to positively transform the lives of women and girls in The Gambia will be limited.
We appreciate you all!
