The launch of the new strategic plan also coincided with the foundation’s10th Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The foundation was established in 2006 by the family of the late Francis Degaulle Njie in commemorating his values of excellence and dedication to learning and service.
The foundation seeks to contribute to the development of the educational system in The Gambia by providing financial support to outstanding science students, raise awareness about cancer and support individuals and families affected by cancer.
It also offers mentorship programmes for young people, organises seminars and motivational lectures as well as offers scholarships to students.
Also, this new strategic plan aims to revise and restructure the foundation's operation methods, expand geographical coverage by decentralising it in a bid to reach rural areas and to establish Francis Degaulle Njie Centre for Excellence, amongst others.
