Gambia - Business Development

We currently have two business development programmes in The Gambia – The National Beekeeping Association of The Gambia (NBAG) and Santa Yala support association .

Santa Yala is a HIV/AIDS support organization is based in Fajara and works to support families and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. This includes home-care visits, training, and counselling services. MondoChallenge have been working with them since 2006. Volunteers have already assisted in the setting up of a grant giving scheme which enables families to start-up small, manageable businesses that enable them to feed their dependents, pay for treatment, and adds a real sense of purpose to individuals lives under difficult circumstances.
Volunteers are needed to continue accounting and small business training, identify workable business opportunities, and help in the general running of the main office. Volunteers with a healthcare background can also assist in areas such as nutrition, health education, and counselling.
