Is it already 21 years? What an incredible milestone! 🎉✨

Today, as Side by Side Organisation proudly marks its 21st Anniversary 🥳🎊, we reflect with gratitude and pride on a journey defined by impact, growth, and commitment. Over the past two decades, we have supported the education of hundreds of Gambians, planted tens of thousands of trees across all regions of the country, facilitated several educational exchange programs with partners in the United States, and implemented numerous high level advocacy and community development initiatives nationwide.

Through our thematic focus areas, we have also championed sexual and reproductive health and rights, working to empower young people and communities with knowledge, access, and advocacy to make informed decisions and live healthier lives 💙.

These achievements would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication, passion, and commitment of every individual who has contributed to sustaining and growing this organization. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our past and present members, volunteers, and partners 🙌🏾👏🏾. Your time, effort, and belief in our mission have been the driving force behind our success.

As we celebrate this remarkable milestone 🎈🎂, we look ahead with renewed determination to continue empowering young people, advancing education, promoting environmental sustainability, strengthening sexual and reproductive health and rights, and building stronger partnerships for the future ..

Please join us in celebrating 21 years of impact, resilience, and service! 🎉🎊

SBSO Diversity Forum | Summer Camp 2025

Under the theme “The Role of Young People in Peaceful Conversations and Conflict Resolution,” SBSO hosted an engaging Diversity Forum at the summer camp ground in Bakary Sambuya.

The forum encouraged young participants to reflect on how they can be agents of peace, understanding, and inclusion in their communities. From addressing everyday conflicts to challenging harmful stereotypes.

We extend our sincere thanks to our panelists, Mr. Omar Saibo Camara and Mr. Musa K. Ceesay, for their thoughtful contributions, and to all the participants whose active involvement made the session so impactful.

We also thank our Senior Management Team for their hard work and commitment in ensuring the forum’s success.

Let’s continue fostering peaceful conversations and building inclusive spaces starting with ourselves.
