SONA JOBARTEH | THE GAMBIA ACADEMY

Ms. Jobarteh is now well on the way to realizing her vision for The Gambia’s first music academy and culture centre. Recently, she purchased 50 hectares of land on which a brilliant new campus will take shape. Situated on the southern edge of The Gambia, this will enable us to expand The Academy’s junior enrollment to 100 students and launch a comprehensive vocational training program for those 18 or older.

The site of the Academy in Kartong puts it in a perfect location -- a ten minute walk to the beach, whilst being closely connected to the rural community. The Academy will offer courses to both national and overseas students, benefiting from on-site accommodation. The project is now at the development and funding stage, and we are reaching out to partner organisations, individuals and funders to come on board this pioneering enterprise.
