We help orphans regain stability and confidence by providing school uniforms, shoes, and essential learning materials. Our support restores dignity, encourages children to stay in school, and gives them a sense of belonging at a time when they need hope the most.
women empowered through 17 community garden programs
We work closely with communities to create sustainable gardens that provide fresh vegetables, income, and independence for women and families. By equipping them with seeds, fertilizers, and tools, each garden becomes a long-term solution that strengthens both households and entire communities.

Helping children access education is one of our core commitments. AKAFI ensures students have the resources they need to succeed, from uniforms to school supplies. We also raise awareness on the importance of education, breaking the cycle of poverty one child at a time.
Widows equipped with micro-grants to start small business
Our empowerment programs are designed to meet the evolving needs of widows and women who are striving for self-reliance. By listening to their stories and understanding their challenges, we provide personalized support through micro-grants, skills training, and income-building opportunities.
Community gardens served across The Gambia
We partner directly with local leaders and families—each bringing unique traditions, strengths, and needs. Together, we develop solutions that last. Whether supporting agriculture, education, or small businesses, we work hand-in-hand with communities to create meaningful and sustainable change.
Community members including children and families reached through AKAFI programs
They say it takes a village AKAFI’s village spans both The Gambia and the United States. Supporters, volunteers, and families come together with one goal: empowering those who need it most. Every contribution strengthens our ability to provide education, resources, and hope.
A mishap changed life in seconds. The sudden death of one’s loved one, supporting your finances, or any other incident. But it throws a person into the blind well of struggle.
We are the hope to orphans, widows, and the community. Through education to the orphans, sustainable programs for the widows, and the development innitiatives for the community, we bring change and transform lives.
When a child loses their parents, access to education becomes uncertain. We ensures orphans receive school uniforms, shoes, and learning materials restoring confidence, dignity, and the opportunity to stay in school.
Empowering women creates stronger communities. Through community garden programs, skills training, and micro-grants, widows and women gain the tools to rebuild livelihoods, support their families, and create long-term stability.
Widows are pillars of their families. We restore stability by helping them rebuild their confidence and income through small, accessible micro-loans giving them the support they need to start or grow small businesses. These opportunities open the door to long-term security, allowing women to regain financial independence, provide for their children, and create brighter futures. With each empowered widow, communities become stronger, more resilient, and full of possibility.
