Njie Charakh Business School Celebrates Graduation of 200 Women Entrepreneurs.
This Sunday, 200 women entrepreneurs received their certificates from the Njie Charakh School of Business Training. The ceremony marked the completion of a five-month intensive business training program.
The event combined graduates from both the fourth and fifth batches of the school's entrepreneurship program. School administrator Sheikh Tijan Cherry said the institution has trained more than 500 entrepreneurs since its founding last year.
"These students arrived as aspiring visionaries, each carrying dreams of community impact," Cherry said. He emphasized the importance of adaptability in the changing business landscape.
The school's financial impact proved significant. CEO Morr Sarr reported total deposits of D3,848,020 across five batches, with profits reaching D6,061,560 within five months. The deposits broke down as follows: first batch D1,200,000, second batch D900,000, third batch D600,000, fourth batch D650,000, and fifth batch D435,020.
Sarr called for government support to expand the program's reach. "One person cannot develop a country. We need to unite and create jobs for ourselves and others," he said. He emphasized how government backing could help extend services to both women and men.
Graduate Kaddy D Njie expressed appreciation for the program's impact. "We are grateful for these business and entrepreneurship skills," she said. She urged the government to invest in entrepreneurship programs like Njie Charakh World Market to address unemployment among young Gambians, particularly women.
The school continues its mission to equip entrepreneurs with essential business skills, focusing on financial independence and community development.
