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 fullest potential and thrive while contributing to the development of their families, communities and country through health, economic, social, and political empowerment.

Our Mission

Our mission is to complement the development efforts of the Government of The Gambia as well as national and international partners through our holistic and integrated Social and Economic Empowerment Programme geared towards improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable and marginalized people, especially women and girls, in targeted rural and urban communities.
