Who We Are
Our Vision
Our vision is to improve the quality of health care services in The Gambia and see a Gambia in which vulnerable women and girls enjoy their rights without prejudice or discrimination, and where men are empowered to help these women and girls reach their full potential and thrive while contributing to the development of their families, communities and country through health, economic, social, and political empowerment.
