Most of women are taken for granted because they can’t create them selves opportunities. Even if they do they got no support at all. So please help me to prove that women are not weak but strong. I can create more opportunities and I’m sure most of women are going to follow in my foot steps as well.

I established Gambia clubfoot foundation as a charitable foundation to support free treatment of children born with clubfoot disability in the Gambia and support training of Gambian health care professionals with ponseti skills to help treat childern born with these disabilities. Right now we start our free treatment as a pilot project in 2 hospitals and has being really successful. Within 2 years since its inception, we provided free treatment to 160 children.
