Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The founder and CEO of Njie Charakh World Market has announced the launch of an initiative targeted at creating jobs for 400 young people. CEO Moth Sarr, who has received lots of commendations for his support of Gambian women and the physically disabled community, said he now wants to focus on empowering youths.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Sarr said he has opened business schools in Fon\u0303i, Basse, and Farafenni, enrolling over 1,300 women, and his business has already created employment for over 1,000 women across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have opened shops for a good number of women; we trained and provided loans to several others to expand their businesses. We have just launched an initiative targeting four hundred young people. We have started registering the first 100 people who will be trained immediately after Ramadan and supported to start their own businesses. The idea is to create jobs for young people to curb unemployment and crime rates in the country. We believe the young people are not lazy; what they need is for us to talk to them to know what they want, and we endeavour to provide them opportunities to start doing something,\u201d he said. He said the project will target young people at the Serekunda \u201cBlack Market\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe in giving people fish; I feel proud when I help them learn how to fish,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Women<\/p>\n

In the past two years or so, Sarr added: \u201cWe have taken 1,000 women out of poverty… Some of these women are widows, and others are from poor families.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Njie Charakh World Market is planning to open a standard supermarket that would accommodate a good number of the women they trained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to urge the government to provide us with land for the construction of a trade centre and a business university. We have the idea, and with the needed support, we will be able to start something because the over 1,000 women we trained were able to make a profit of D3.2 million last year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He extolled Gambian women for their support and understanding.<\/p>\n

Sarr said the government should grant him an opportunity and help him achieve his dream. He said all his works have been self-sponsored.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority of Gambian women want to do something, but they don\u2019t have the needed support to start,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
