We believe that every human being can make a crucial contribution to positive social change. We see the individual commitment of leaders as a unique lever for change. For people in positions of responsibility have a key impact on organizations and institutional structures.
They use their knowledge, networks, and influence to deliberately work for a better world. In this, they are guided by a deep respect for other people, their background, identity, and dignity.
Through our leadership programs, we create spaces where leaders from government, business, civil society, academia, and culture meet as equals and mutually inspire each other. From an understanding for shared challenges and responsibility can emerge forward-looking solutions at the local and global levels.
1) Foster open and honest communication
-Create an environment where openness and honesty in all aspects of communication are encouraged. Ask people to share their views and talk about the obstacles in their way
2) Create collaborative goals
-At the outset, goals should be clearly set and defined. Getting this right at the start may take a little extra time and planning, but it pays major dividends. For the best outcomes
3) Celebrate their success
-Good job, team! Never forget to laud good team efforts, ideas, or targets met. Share your team’s successes with the company at large and champion them to leadership.
4} Allow team members to problem solve
-Instead of imposing solutions, encourage team members to brainstorm and develop their own suggestions. By giving your team space (physical, metaphorical, or even virtual with Teamwork Spaces) to find the right solution and propose their ideas, you can empower them to think creatively, develop their confidence, and foster a sense of ownership.
5) Provide adequate resources and training
-A great leader doesn’t just help their team members to do their current jobs. Great leaders help them identify room for advancement to develop their skills and progress their careers. Support your team by giving them the resources they need to excel and reach the next level.
6) Keep yourself accountable
-In your time as a leader, things won’t always go perfectly smoothly. You might even make a few bad calls. (Hey, you’re only human.) When things go wrong — when a project goes off track, when the scope suddenly changes, when the unexpected happens — you need to face it head on. Take responsibility and work with your team to address the issues and get back on target.
7) Keep your eye on the big picture
-As a leader, you need to strike a balance between zooming in on the details and zooming out to see the big picture. In other words, you must ensure your team is accomplishing the day-to-day tasks without losing sight of the overarching goals you’re working toward and how the team contributes to those goals.
Education for Children and illiterate Adult
This project proposes to enhance the basic education of children and illiterate Adults in the five villages in Base ( District,) Basang, villages and will serve approximately 1200 families inTanje, and 900 families in Farafeni
Basic education for the children and illiterate Adults is the backbone of the community therefore it is viewed as a human right since education contributes to the reduction of both absolute and relative poverty. Basic education, in particular, helps to alleviate poverty by helping poor people improve their lives. Mothers with some education raise healthier families.
Children and youth with basic skills and knowledge can read and handle numbers, which gives them access to information and thinking processes that give them more choices about how to behave in their families and then in the community. Adults can make more informed decisions about political and social events that affect the quality of their lives.
In Base , and farafeni villages and surrounding areas accounts teaching aids and basic equipment available for educational tasks are minimal, even though parents and teachers alike agree that more adequate and creative teaching methods are needed in school to stimulate learning incentives therefore this project will contribute towards the development of education in these areas.

The villagers are very poor, work as farm laborer and are mostly illiterate. The students of Primary School are the first generation from their villages to receive any education. By supporting their education, you will be helping not only them, but over time, change the culture of the village so that education becomes the norm, rather than the exception.
Many villages in the vicinity of Barra have no tradition of education. The residents are mostly illiterate, do not own land to cultivate and their main livelihood is working as poorly paid farm laborers. Given these conditions, it is hard for them to advance from their current state of poverty.
Our team will conduct comprehensive educational needs and public communication infrastructure/practice assessments. Investigators will also document all interaction and participant observation using videographer, photo documentary, and podcasting methods in order to ensure improved education and socioeconomic wellbeing of the population.
The educational level of our target group will rise; their psychological
condition will improve and they will be prepared for a successful live in our
society. Both, the population and the local institutions and communities, will
be mobilized to make education and job training a priority.
At the end of the project we expect the following results:
• 150 12-16 year-old children will obtain basic education,
• Their IQ will be improved,
• 150 12-16 year-old children will obtain legal education to decrease cases
of abusing children’s rights,
• The social problems of 150 12-16 year-old children will be improved,
• 12–13-year-old children will be given the opportunity to continue their
education at school,
• Children who will study in the vocational school will obtain their
preferred profession,
• The beneficiaries will receive psychological support.
We will organize training-courses in remote communities of Gambia to help school-aged children.
fulfill any gaps in their basic education. In order to prevent them from being exploited as a
vulnerable group, we will provide psychological and social support to these children. Beneficiaries
will also receive the necessary items and stationery supplies to will allow them to attend school.
Our communities have passionate and highly driven individuals that are ready to engage their peers and tackle global issues however with no safe community spaces, lack of education and financial support from the government these individuals do not have the resources to make a differencewhat is the solution? and way out?
- Foundational research (literature reviews, desktop research)
- Formative research (e.g. usability studies; feasibility studies; case studies; user interviews; implementation studies; pre-post or multi-measure research; correlational studies)
- Summative research (e.g. correlational studies; quasi-experimental studies; randomized control studies)
The project aims to provide scholarships to children deprived of education by armed conflict. It will contributes to SDG 4, 5 and 8 by ensuring the right of children to basic primary education is respected through academic scholarships and improved care environment.
Education empowers children with the tools to be productive citizens contributing to break the vicious cycle of poverty in line with SDG 4, 5 and 8. By ensuring that the education of poor children doesn't stop due to conflict, the project is a credible alternative to the temptation of integrating armed gangs while addressing the drivers of conflict induced child sex and labour trafficking. The acquisition of important soft skills promotes peaceful coexistence, generosity and community service.
By funding materials, resources and implementing programs that will be self-sustaining with each partner we hope to develop the community and improve the quality of education the children receive. As children move from grade to grade, they will be able to use the same resources. Examples of such resources include projectors, computers, sunscreen dispensers, desks and an established garden.
By providing a new source of funding we will be able to help our community in a multitude of new ways to become self-sustaining as well as providing an improved quality of education which we hope will allow children to break the cycle of poverty. Currently, we have limited budgets for resources that we use in our classes and for small items our partners may need. With funding, we will be able to help and support our partners more, both in and outside the classroom.
The project aims to help at least children finish elementary and secondary schooling. The children are those from the core shelter communities adapted by Foundation University. The project will help provide basic educational materials and resources to ensure that beneficiaries continue their school and graduate. A college fund will also be prepared for those wanting to pursue higher education and obtain a college degree
The project will help improve the literacy rate of the adopted communities by increasing the number of children attending school and eventually graduating from elementary to high school. With the accumulated funding, atleast students will be benefiting from free educational resources. It also aims to improve the over-all health state of the children and the community.
