Girls' Education News, Events and Updates

At SaGG Foundation, we focus on placing girls in The Gambia on the path to success through education. We are a non-profit organisation that seeks to sustainably empower girls through education.

Past Events:
Open Table Girls' Mentorship Forum

Mentoring girls can help girls reach their full potential in education and career development. Through this Open Table discussion, we were be able to dive into detail about the impacts mentorship had on successful women and how they have dealt with hurdles in their career as well as their personal life.

Our theme was to empower girls by having inspirational women from different fields speaking about their experiences in mentorship and how this affected their career development. This gave the girls an opportunity to ask questions openly to guide and plan their future. The event was held on Friday 26th August 2022 in The Gambia.
