Girls' Education Events, News and Updates

Girls’ Education Events

At SaGG Foundation, we focus on placing girls in The Gambia on the path to success through education. To raise awareness and build on this initiative, we have successfully conducted a variety of events, both online and offline to encourage our girls in leading fuller, empowering and independent lives. We want them to receive the right to education and knowledge from various fields, better conduct themselves, be confident and self-aware, and prioritize their career and personal development.
​
Take a look at the informative sessions, latest news, updates, and the events we’ve conducted over the years.

Recent Event: Girls Are Created For a Purpose

We recently hosted our "Sponsor A Gambian Girl Mentorship Day" in The Gambia, centered around "Girls Are Created for a Purpose." This event brought together all our sponsored girls, allowing us to meet them in person and witness their growth. Our esteemed guest speakers shared invaluable insights on finding one's purpose. 

  • Nafisa Shafique - UNICEF Representative, The Gambia - Opening Remarks
  • Dr. Ismail D. Badjie, PharmD - Founder & CEO, Innovarx Global Health - Purpose in Confusion
  • Awa Gai - Human Rights Lawyer - Purpose in Education
  • Rose F. Coker - CEO, QuickCook - Purpose in Discovery Moments
  • Tracy Davies-Wilson - Magistrate, Judiciary of The Gambia - Purpose in Self-Identity.
The girls participated in breakout sessions with these leaders, exploring their own purposes and embracing their potential. A heartfelt thank you to our speakers for their inspiration. You can watch the highlights from the event in the following video.
