LETS GET BACK TO AFRICA ....7 Projects, 3 Countrys, 1 Mission....

After a relentless pursuit across continents, I'm thrilled to announce our triumphant return to the heart of our mission: West Africa. Brace yourselves for an unprecedented endeavor as we unveil a masterplan encompassing 7 transformative projects across 3 nations: Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea-Bissau. United by a singular purpose, we are poised to ignite a revolution of youth empowerment. Stay tuned for more details on this epic journey. The future is ours to shape!

Five months, 30.000 kilometers, countless battles won and lost. I’ve traversed the globe, enduring the harshest conditions to secure the future of the youth of West Africa. Now, I return, battle-hardened and resolute. Bissau, Freetown, Banjul - prepare yourselves. A new era of youth empowerment is upon us. This is not a request, it’s a declaration. Are you ready?

Banjul/Freetown/Bissau – Renowned youth activist and philanthropist, Dr. Ebrima Badjie, is making a triumphant return to West Africa, armed with a renewed vigor and expanded vision. After a transformative six-month sojourn in Europe dedicated to capacity building and fundraising, Dr. Badjie is poised to embark on his most ambitious endeavor yet.
For a decade, Dr. Badjie has been an unwavering champion for the youth of West Africa. His unwavering passion and dedication have seen him transform the lives of hundreds of young people, providing them with opportunities to reach their full potential. His work extends far beyond mere charity; it's a catalyst for change, igniting hope where it was once scarce.
Today, as he sets off on a groundbreaking mission alongside his newly appointed Vice President, V. Jarju, Dr. Badjie is expanding his organization's reach to encompass Sierra Leone, Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau. This unprecedented undertaking is a testament to his belief in the power of unity and collaboration.
The ambitious plan outlines over seven impactful projects, each designed to empower and uplift the region's youth. A cornerstone of Dr. Badjie's philosophy, sports, will once again take center stage, with a particular focus on athletics. By nurturing young talent on the track and field, he aims to foster discipline, teamwork, and a sense of achievement.
In tandem with his sports initiatives, Dr. Badjie is committed to creating sustainable economic opportunities for young people. His youth employment projects, which involve establishing and handing over shops to aspiring entrepreneurs, have proven to be a game-changer. By providing young people with the tools and support they need to succeed, he is not only addressing unemployment but also building resilient communities.
This audacious mission is poised to be the most successful in Dr. Badjie's illustrious career. His ability to galvanize support, coupled with his deep-rooted understanding of the challenges faced by West African youth, make him a formidable force for good.
As Dr. Badjie and his team embark on this extraordinary journey, the hopes and aspirations of countless young people are riding on their shoulders. Their efforts will undoubtedly leave an enduring legacy that will inspire generations to come.

Croatia 2024 🇭🇷 another successful summit in Europe .... Halftime ... 😌

Greetings to all Gambians on this auspicious occasion of the 59th Independence Day of our beloved country. I am Dr. Ebrima Badjie, the president of the youth organisation The Gambian Connection Group. For over 10 years, I have been working in The Gambia to support the Gambian youth in their education, empowerment, and entrepreneurship. It has not always been easy, but it has been a pleasure to witness the growth and potential of our young generation.

The Gambian Connection Group is a platform for the youth to connect, collaborate, and create positive change in their communities. We provide mentorship, training, and opportunities for the youth to develop their skills and talents. We also advocate for the rights and interests of the youth in the national development agenda. We believe that the youth are the future of The Gambia, and we are committed to helping them achieve their dreams.

On this Independence Day, I wish all Gambians success and prosperity. I also urge the youth to take advantage of the opportunities that our country offers, and to contribute to its development with passion and dedication. Let us celebrate our independence with pride and gratitude, and let us work together to make The Gambia a shining example of democracy, peace, and progress in Africa and the world.

Happy Independence Day, The Gambia!

One of our main areas of focus is the Turntable area, a bustling hub of activity and commerce in the West Coast Division. The Turntable area is home to many young people who do hard and honest work every day, from drivers to mechanics to shoe repairers. We have a wide spectrum of hard-working and honest youth here, who deserve better opportunities and living conditions.

That is why, in 2024, we plan to establish some workshops and shops in the Turntable area, to give the youth better working conditions and income sources. We have seen how the reckless demolition of many shops and the destruction of the basic income for many people has affected the situation in that area. Even though people manage with the situation, the road clearing the way it was done without creating any alternatives for the people was a wrong action.

To compensate for that, we have to jump in now and provide some solutions. We also invite our friends and partners, as well as anyone who wants to support the real future of our country, the Gambian youth, to join us in our efforts. We believe that by empowering the youth, we can create a positive change in the Gambia and beyond.

We are looking forward to working with you in 2024 and making our vision a reality. Together, we can make a difference.
