On the 17th of August 2023, the GYIN Gambia Chapter Team took a step forward in preparing for the upcoming Entrepreneurship Training event cooperating with the Kombo East Youth and Children Development Alliance (KEYCDA).
The journey towards the Entrepreneurship Training started with a meeting hosted at GYIN’s Secretariat in Bijilo. Held on the 17th of August, this meeting marked the first official step in organizing an event that would empower young minds with the knowledge and skills required to become successful entrepreneurs.
During this meeting, the GYIN Gambia Chapter’s dedicated team came together to strategize, brainstorm, and set in motion a plan that would shape the training program. Their commitment to the cause shone brightly as they discussed various aspects of the training, ranging from curriculum design to logistical arrangements, and from fostering participant engagement to ensuring optimal resource allocation.
Fueling this initiative was an undying passion for entrepreneurship and a collective aspiration to equip aspiring business leaders with the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive landscape. GYIN recognizes that entrepreneurship serves as a potent avenue for economic empowerment. Consequently, they are unwavering in their commitment to ensuring that young Gambians have access to the education and support necessary to initiate and expand successful businesses.
The planning that unfolded on the 17th of August was the cornerstone upon which the successful Entrepreneurship Training event on the 2nd and 3rd of September will be built. GYIN’s dedication to empowering Gambian youth through entrepreneurship education stands there to the commitment to nurturing a brighter future for the nation’s young populace. This planning process vividly illustrates GYIN’s mission to inspire, educate, and provide support to the next generation of Gambian entrepreneurs, setting them on a path toward success and economic prosperity.
