Kunning Gambia and Great Minds Skills Training Centre
The collaboration between Kunning Gambia and Great Minds Skills Training Centre continues to grow from strength to strength.
Together, we are working to create a brighter future for the women and girls of Gunjur and the wider community. We are encouraged by the progress already being made and remain excited about the continued impact this partnership will have.
Our shared mission is to empower women and girls through skills, opportunity, and support. This commitment sits at the heart of both organisations. By working together, we are able to combine our strengths, resources, and experience to make a greater and more meaningful impact.
Through this partnership, we continue to provide training, mentorship, and encouragement to help our students develop their abilities, build confidence, and reach their full potential. We are also exploring opportunities for volunteers to contribute their time, skills, and experience for the benefit of our students in future programmes.
“Empowering girls, one stitch at a time”
Volunteer Support
We are pleased to share that we have been approached by two volunteers with experience in the following areas:
- Graphic Design
- Fundraising
We look forward to welcoming them and sharing more details soon. Dates for them to meet the project teams and students will be announced in due course.
Thank You and Update on Funds
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous donors and GoFund supporters who have continued to stand with us.
Thanks to the donations received, we have been able to:
- Secure improved accommodation and workshop space, giving our students more room to learn and create
- Cover several months of rent for the space
- Purchase additional equipment and materials to support training and production
These contributions have helped us create a stronger and more supportive learning environment for our students. We are deeply grateful for your trust in our mission. With your help, we are able to continue providing high-quality training and meaningful support to women and girls in our community.
Together, We Are Making a Difference
Kunning Gambia is sincerely grateful for the support of Great Minds Skills Training Centre and all of our donors, whose generosity has enabled us to make a real difference in the lives of women and girls in our community.
We would also like to acknowledge the leadership and commitment of Mr Dodou Barrow, who continues to train and organise sessions alongside his wife, Yafatou Barrow. We also extend our appreciation to Faburama, our brilliant tailor, whose skills and contribution continue to add great value to the work being done.
