The Fatou Bah Barrow Foundation (FaBB) has awarded GACH Global CEO Abubakary Jawara and several others for their unflinching support to the foundation and contribution to national development.
The foundation marked a significant milestone with its official launch ceremony at the International Conference Center. The event, graced by esteemed guests and supporters, symbolised years of dedicated efforts to uplift the lives of vulnerable Gambians across the nation.
Established in 2017, FaBB has swiftly become a beacon of hope and a catalyst for positive change, earning widespread recognition and trust within the country. The foundation’s core focus on empowering impoverished communities, disadvantaged women, youth, children, and vulnerable groups has been instrumental in transforming countless lives.
During the launch, deserving individuals and entities were honoured with awards for their exceptional contributions to FaBB’s growth and impact.
Reacting to the award, Abubakary Jawara thanked the First Lady for recognising his efforts towards national development and assured him of his continued support.
