Gibril Joof, other team members of the NGO and voluntary contributors to the NGO, Representatives of the relevant Governorship and Alkalos of the above mentioned villages.

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.
