Across the country, the rainy season has once again exposed the fragile state of our roads. Waterlogging has left many communities struggling with access, mobility, and the basic movement of goods and people. In line with its community-first approach, NAFAA has stepped in by sending truckloads of crushed cement rubble to help improve road conditions in some of the hardest-hit areas, including Nema Nasir, Nema Kunku, Ebo Town, London Corner, and Barra.
These interventions, though temporary, show NAFAA’s commitment to addressing the daily struggles of Gambians while calling for lasting infrastructural solutions. At the same time, preparations are in full gear for the maiden NAFAA Back-to-School “Setsetal,” a community school-cleaning exercise aimed at instilling a sense of service, discipline, and ownership among students.
The initiative is designed not only to prepare schools for the new academic year but also to nurture responsibility in young Gambians and to safeguard learning environments and community spaces. This landmark project will be piloted before the reopening of schools for the 2025-2026 academic year in: Mamutfana Village, Brikama Gidda, Ebo Town, Bakau, Bundung, Nema Nasir, Nema Kunku, Sanyang Darboe Kunda and Wulinkama.
Through these activities, NAFAA continues to root its vision of sovereignty in community action, shared responsibility, and grassroots resilience. Whether it is rehabilitating roads, revitalising schools, or supporting sports, the message is clear: nation-building begins with what we can do together, today.
