An active member of the Global Youth Innovation Network (GYIN) Gambia Chapter, Ms. Sainabou Ngack
has made a household name for herself by being the first female to establish
the first-ever Poultry Farm in her native village of Pakau Njogu, North Bank
Region.
Being among the “five
best selected participants” in GYIN Gambia’s Entrepreneurship Leadership
Information & Technology (ELIT) 2018 National Youth Summer Camp with cash
prize of D10, 000.00, she ventured into poultry to help her community to have
access to poultry meat and at the same time capitalize on the unique
opportunity of being the sole poultry producer in the village.
She started her
poultry in April 2019 with just 70 broiler birds and later added extra 50.
Established by herself
in partnership with her younger brother, the business was financed by one of
their family members as a start-up.
During the ELIT, Ms
Ngack was inspired by her colleagues especially GYINers venturing into Poultry
business and excelling in it.
Ms Ngack is also an
alumni of GYIN Gambia’s six months Youth Mentorship Program on Enterprise
Management 2018/19 fully funded by the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP).
The Youth Empowerment
Project (YEP) is an EU-funded flagship project of the Republic of the Gambia
implemented by the International Trade Centre in collaboration with the
Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration, and Employment and the
Ministry of Youth and Sports with the objective to improve skills, create jobs
and generate income for Gambian youths.
