About us.

The Fajara Skills Development Centre (FSDC) was founded in 1999 in The Gambia with the mission of creating opportunities for individuals who, through circumstances beyond their control, could not complete their formal education. Over the years, the Centre has evolved into a hub for women, housewives, and youths, equipping them with practical skills, knowledge, and confidence to pursue meaningful livelihoods
