A grassroots innovation and inclusion organization advancing sustainable development solutions in West Africa.

Everyone has the right to make decisions that affect their lives, yet for those with Disabilities they are not given the opportunity for their voice to be heard. This is due to prejudice and stigma surrounding Disabilities as well as low expectations that the person with Disabilities can contribute to making decisions that affect their lives. They are always seen as incompetent and unproductive by the society. These and many more reasons, gave birth to the formation of BethGold Foundation whose aim is to create awareness and transforming mindsets of the society by confronting them with their prejudice and Misconception. This is done through capacity building training such as radio sensitisation programs, story telling, workshops, community outreach and documentaries as well empowering Persons with Disabilities with soft and vocational skills that will help them become independent and self sustainable. We want to see a society that never doubts the potential of a Persons with Disabilities. To achieve this task, we are calling on your support in this crusade in order to make this world a better place for all of us .

Yesterday, BethGold Foundation, in partnership with Radio Veritas 102.9FM, hosted another impactful edition of our Disability Radio Talk Show, featuring the Stuttering Advocacy and Support Association (SASA).

We were honored to welcome Mr. Babou Secka (President) and Mr. Musa Kora (Secretary General), who shared heartfelt personal experiences of living with stuttering and the realities many persons who stutter face every day.

During the discussion, our guests spoke openly about the emotional, social, and psychological challenges associated with stuttering—moments of fear, embarrassment, rejection, and silence that often remain unseen by society. They emphasized that stuttering is not a sign of low intelligence, weakness, or inability, but a communication difference that deserves understanding, respect, and support.

The conversation also highlighted the important work being done by SASA as a registered non-profit organization advocating for the rights, dignity, and equal opportunities of persons who stutter in The Gambia. Through their advocacy, awareness campaigns, peer support initiatives, welfare programs, and psychosocial assistance, SASA is helping many individuals regain confidence, find their voice, and participate fully in society.

One of the strongest messages from the program was the need for families, schools, workplaces, media institutions, and communities to create environments where people who stutter feel safe to speak without fear of ridicule or discrimination. The guests encouraged the public to listen patiently, avoid interrupting, and support children and adults who stutter with empathy and encouragement.

At BethGold Foundation, we believe that every voice matters. True inclusion means ensuring that no one is excluded because of the way they speak. By promoting awareness and challenging harmful stereotypes, we can build a society where communication differences are respected and where persons who stutter are empowered to lead, contribute, and thrive.

We sincerely thank Mr. Babou Secka, Mr. Musa Kora, and the entire Stuttering Advocacy and Support Association (SASA) for sharing their experiences and for the remarkable work they continue to do in advancing inclusion and human dignity.

Let us continue to speak up for inclusion, listen with compassion, and create a society where every voice is heard and valued.

🩸 Creating Awareness Through Sickle Cell Education

BethGold Foundation was honored to host Sickle Cell Association – The Gambia on our Disability Radio Talk Show on Radio Veritas 102.9FM, as part of our commitment to raising awareness on disability, health, and inclusion.

Our guest Musa Dem (President) and Gabriel Jawneh (Secretary), courageously shared their personal journeys as individuals living with sickle cell disease. They spoke openly about the daily battles they face—the excruciating pain crises, the silent struggles that often go unseen, and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward despite the challenges.

The discussion also provided an important opportunity to educate listeners about Sickle Cell Disease, its causes, the myths surrounding it, and the importance of early awareness. One of the key messages emphasized during the program was the need for genotype testing before marriage. Knowing your genotype empowers couples to make informed decisions, helping to reduce the number of children born with sickle cell disease.

At BethGold Foundation, we believe that awareness saves lives, education empowers communities, and prevention begins with knowledge. Together, we can break the stigma, support those living with sickle cell disease, and build a healthier and more informed society.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Sickle Cell Association – The Gambia, Musa Dem, and Gabriel for sharing their inspiring stories and valuable insights.

Know your genotype. Get tested. Make informed choices. Together, we can create a future with greater awareness, compassion, and hope.

🎙️ IN EVERY DISABILITY, THERE IS ABILITY – THE POWER OF FAMILY SUPPORT

BethGold Foundation, in partnership with Radio Veritas 102.9FM, hosted another impactful Disability Radio Talk Show, creating a platform for voices that inspire, educate, and challenge society's perceptions about disability.
We were honored to welcome Mr. Ebrima Sarr, Founder and President of the Young Disability Foundation in Fass Njagga Choi, Lower Nuimi District, North Bank Region.

Ebrima shared his remarkable journey of growing up as a child with a disability and how the unwavering love and support of his family shaped the person and leader he is today.

One statement that deeply resonated with everyone listening was:

"My family supported me so much because they believed in me. And that is why I am encouraging all families to support their children with disabilities. Charity begins at home. Before anyone supports you, it has to start from home first."

Those words remind us that the first place where inclusion begins is not in government offices, schools, or workplaces—it begins at home. When families choose love over stigma, encouragement over pity, and opportunity over limitation, children with disabilities are empowered to dream, lead, and transform their communities.

Today, Ebrima is living proof of that truth.

Through the Young Disability Foundation, with the support of Activista The Gambia and the Gambia Ports Authority, he is now giving back by empowering persons with disabilities across the North Bank Region and beyond. His story is a powerful reminder that when we invest in one person, that person can go on to impact hundreds of others.

At BethGold Foundation, we remain committed to amplifying these stories, promoting disability inclusion, and advocating for equal opportunities for every person with a disability.

Together, we can build a society where disability is never seen as inability, but as part of the rich diversity of humanity.

Let us all remember: Believe in a child with a disability. Support them. Encourage them. Empower them. The journey to an inclusive society starts at home.
