@FirstLady_GMB , in commemoration of #InternationalWomensDay, called on the government to reintroduce adult literacy programs for women regarding it as key to our collective fight against poverty, noting education of women and girls is key to our development as a nation.

[Rt. Hon. Dr. Tunis @EcoParlSpeaker]

As the West African nation of The Gambia reflects on its cherished history while appreciating the sacrifices made by its sons and daughters, I pray bountiful blessings always remain with you and that the coming generations enjoy the fruits of Independence.

My best wishes to you!

Congratulations to journalist @Alieu2244 of @QTV_Gambia for winning The Merck Foundation in partnership with @FirstLady_GMB and @LadyWeah, ‘Stay at Home Media Recognition Awards 2020.

[First Lady Barrow @FirstLady_GMB]

It's my firm belief, just like the theme of this year's commemoration, that the girl child should have a voice and equal rights and opportunities.

[First Lady Barrow @FirstLady_GMB]

As the world celebrates #InternationalDayoftheGirl, I renew my devotion to the welfare of the Girl-Child.
In collaboration with other stakeholders, my office will continue to pursue an avenue that would create safe spaces and empower young girls to realise their full potential.

I encourage all Gambians to remain calm, focused and dedicated to making a positive difference in the welfare of the nation. These are moments to build on our resilience in order to achieve our noble aspirations. #SoNA2020

[State House of The Gambia @Presidency_GMB]

My address presents the successes and challenges of a country that was on a steep rise towards economic boom and socio-political transformation when the unexpected struck. This was the sudden outbreak and rapid spread of #COVID19. #SoNA2020

[State House of The Gambia @Presidency_GMB]

For our collective safety and survival, let us redefine our roles and development paths against the realities of times.’’

[State House of The Gambia @Presidency_GMB]

‘’The pandemic has taught us the need to cultivate a new culture of cleanliness, a new social order of living in a pandemic as humans, a new political vision of working together and a new way of embracing solidarity- @BarrowPresident #SONA2020

[State House of The Gambia @Presidency_GMB]

@BarrowPresident will on Sunday 6th Sept leave Banjul to attend the 57th Ordinary Session of @ecowas_cedeao, scheduled to take place on Monday, September 7th in Niamey, Niger.

[First Lady Barrow @FirstLady_GMB]

As a champion for causes affecting children, I would continue my support to endure that children in #Gambia and within the subregion are safe, and their rights guaranteed.

I would like to thank @sandralattouf of @UNICEFGambia for the relentless support to Gambian children.

[First Lady Barrow @FirstLady_GMB]

Taking care of children is the responsibility of every adult in any community, therefore, any intervention to care and protect our children is a priority for the government.

[First Lady Barrow @FirstLady_GMB]

Children are the most vulnerable members of society, and yet, they suffer the most at the hands of people that are meant to nurture, protect and care for them.

The Launching of the national helpline 1️⃣ 9️⃣ 9️⃣ by @MoWcsw is very timely.

[Office of the First Lady The Gambia @OFLA_GMB]

Now that the experiment yielded positive results with the harvest of the vegetables, The First lady hopes to inspire others into home gardening using the plastic recycling method.

[Office of the First Lady The Gambia @OFLA_GMB]

As a champion of Plastic Ban in W/Africa, @FirstLady_GMB started an initiative that recycles used plastic bags for agriculture.

The environmentally friendly method doesn't only ensure litter-free streets and pollution, it as well promotes organic home gardening.
