Kunning Gambia works alongside children, young people, and families through education, skills-based training, wellbeing support, and trusted community action.
Kunning Gambia was founded to uplift and empower disadvantaged girls and young women across the country. The work is local, relational, and shaped by real needs on the ground.
Many girls and young women face interrupted education, family pressure, early responsibility, or a lack of practical opportunities. Kunning Gambia exists to help remove those barriers with support that feels human and immediate.
Families, communities, partners, and local leaders are part of the picture. Support is not only about one programme. It is about building confidence, stability, skills, and stronger everyday outcomes.
Helping girls return to school or access alternative learning opportunities.
Training in sewing, craftmaking, entrepreneurship, digital literacy, and more.
Workshops on self-esteem, communication, leadership, and wellbeing.
Safe, creative spaces for play, social interaction, and community bonding.
Guidance and practical help for women starting micro-businesses.
Beneficiaries come from different backgrounds, but often share hardship, instability, or a lack of support. Some have left school because of family responsibilities or financial pressure. Others are young mothers looking for a stronger path forward.
“When you empower a girl, you empower a generation.”
Parents Afternoon, Fun Day, and stronger community partnership in Gunjur through practical skills training.
Jalika Jatta founded Kunning Gambia after relocating to Gunjur and seeing the need for stronger practical support around children, families, and vulnerable young people. Before moving to The Gambia, she spent many years in the UK as a social worker, supporting children and families through complex challenges.
Her vision is simple: stronger families, confident children, and a community where no one has to face their challenges alone.
