As young entrepreneur
breaking records in her community
By Mariam Saine
Meet Amie Colley,
a young entrepreneur from Somita Village, West Coast Region (WCR) has told Mansa Banko that market vendors especially
women in her community used to make mockery of her for being an educated young
woman and at the same competing with them at the market as a vegetable vendor.
Mrs. Colley is an active member of the Global Youth Innovation Network Gambia Chapter (GYIN Gambia Chapter)- www.gyingambia.gm
Today,
according to her, with the help of her food processing trainings, she is
serving as a role model and source of inspiration to them as most of them are
now learning from her skills.
She is the
proprietress of Amie’s Food Processing and Commercialization. Her brand
includes pepper sause, Kaba Jam, Papaya Jam, Mango Jam, Tomato Paste, Gari,
Garlic Syrup, Bitter cola and Ginger syrup, etc.
