Youth unemployment is often a pathway problem—not a motivation problem. Bamboo Foundation Gambia supports hands-on training cohorts that produce real community outputs and documented competencies, helping young people build reliability, teamwork, and clear progression into roles and livelihoods.

Many families rely on unstable, informal income—and women often carry the heaviest load while lacking access to training, tools, and reliable buyers. Bamboo Foundation Gambia builds practical income pathways across the bamboo value chain, creating safer roles and more stable earning potential over time.
