The first connection
Direct support and community relationships begin in The Gambia.
About Gambia Garden
A connection
that kept
growing.
Our origin
Across 4,500 miles,
a practical idea.
Gambia Garden began in 2023 when co-founders Vincent Yaldoo and Drew Daniels started sending support to people in The Gambia. One act led to another: food assistance became relationships, relationships became projects, and projects became an international organization.
Today, Gambia Garden brings together people in The Gambia, France, the United States and beyond around sport, education, agriculture, health, technology and opportunity.
