Meet one of the impactful projects to be pitched at the 3rd Annual Pitch Day! âš½

In Prince Village, Upper Niumi, North Bank Region, the community and its youth are working alongside Exchange Volunteer Theoneste Irankunda to build a youth-led football fencing project.

Faced with youth unemployment and migration, the community is transforming its passion for football into a pathway for economic empowerment and community development through the construction of a permanent fenced football field.

With the community already contributing D109,250, the project is now seeking support to close the remaining funding gap of D252,750 and bring this vision to life.

Beyond creating a safer and more sustainable sporting space, the project will generate income through tournaments, ticket sales, and field rentals while promoting youth engagement, unity, and healthy living.

Join us on May 21st at Penchami Hall and support community-led solutions transforming lives across The Gambia. 💚

From 6 outstanding Volunteers and their Community Counterparts pitching live on stage, to all 41 Volunteers showcasing their impactful community-led projects through immersive gallery walks, this is more than just an event, it is a movement for change.

The development of Africa starts with us as Africans. And our young, bold Volunteers, who spend 10 months living and serving in vulnerable communities, have proven beyond measure what community-led development truly looks like.
