Project Mala 2021-2022

To continue the previous Mala projects the main goal of project Mala is to enlighten the path for young entrepreneurs, with a final goal to create an incubator center connected to the Armitage Senior Secondary School in Janjanbureh. Previous groups have worked on the Mala project in the Gambia or online. Over the years an entrepreneurial workshop has been created and taught to multiple student groups in different areas of the Gambia. Next to that, the last two groups worked on gathering information about incubator programs in the Gambia and writing a final business plan for the incubator program. Project Mala is provided and being guided by the Kairoh Garden Foundation.

 

The goal of project Mala this year is:

'Creating a more accessible step to the entrepreneurship field for youth in the Gambia'

 

We will do this by setting our goal as; giving practical support to (young) entrepreneurs during their starting years as an entrepreneur. To scope our goal we will be working on this project at the Armitage Senior Secondary School in Janjanbureh, which is situated in the inland of the Gambia. We will be going inland because the problem is even bigger there, less support for the students is available.

 

To reach our goal we will use the work done by the previous Mala project groups and add to that by focusing on making a lasting impact. We will do this by involving the teachers actively in creating the workshop and teaching together with them. Secondly we will give the workshop and implement the knowledge we gained throughout this minor to the students. Furthermore, the end goal of the Mala project is to create an incubator program. We will help set the first step by guiding the youth in their networking skills.
