Our why

mr. Lamin Colley, a primary school teacher in Tanji, Gambia, has been committed to these goals for years with own and sponsored resources. He has created a large international network of people who support him in this, including the board members of the foundation. Other development foundations regularly ask him for help to monitor their projects. However, there is a lack of formal support and therefore of structure and accountability. The foundation wants to offer him this support and formalization
