SDG
has been operating in The Gambia for the last five years and the total value of
the projects realised by this organisation in The Gambia corresponds to $2
million USD (about 92,000,000 million Dalasis).
The
NGO SDG is a non-profit civil society organisation aiming to realise
sustainable projects of quality to fight poverty, create employment, to add
value to people’s lives where it is needed.
So
far it has touched the lives of more than 300,000 people in The Gambia with the
support of its donours and volunteers.
The
Turkish NGO SDG is not operating only in The Gambia, but has already
implemented various humanitarian projects in Senegal and Guinea Bissau as well.
The
glimpses of the smiling faces of especially women, children and elderly people
in the areas where the SDG has been operating, further encourages the
representatives of the above mentioned organisation and the Turkish Embassy to
show our solidarity with our brothers and sisters in The Gambia.
