Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The 3D Family, a humanitarian organisation founded in 2017, today Monday, 29 September 2025, marks its 8th anniversary, with renewed calls for collective action to advance education, health, agriculture, and human rights in The Gambia and beyond.<\/b><\/p>\n

Government officials, civil society partners, and international well-wishers reflect on the group\u2019s impact on local communities and its growing recognition on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Former Information Minister Demba A. Jawo, who has been associated with the 3D Family since its inception, praised the organisation\u2019s consistency and dedication. He recalled being consulted by founder Amadou Marong in the UK about the idea of creating a platform to serve humanity. \u201cSince its formation in 2017, I have always been impressed by the 3D Family\u2019s level of engagement with ordinary people,\u201d Jawo said, noting its focus on education, health, socio-economic empowerment, and youth sensitisation against drugs.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the organisation\u2019s outreach, Jawo pointed to projects such as bean and corn farms in Kiang Dumbuto and Jali, as well as the expansion of human rights and drug awareness programmes from 236 to 264 schools. He further noted the group\u2019s invitations to international human rights conferences in New York and South Africa as evidence of its growing influence.<\/p>\n

Minister of Works and Communication Ebrima Sillah commended the \u201cimmeasurable impact\u201d of the organisation, saying its work has turned \u201chopelessness into hope\u201d and given young Gambians a platform to grow as responsible citizens.<\/p>\n

Permanent Secretary Lamin Camara of the Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines also underscored the importance of 3D\u2019s mission. He urged members to intensify efforts in education, health, agriculture, and youth empowerment, calling the group\u2019s achievements \u201ca moral imperative that lays the foundation for a prosperous future.\u201d<\/p>\n

MoBSE Permanent Secretary Louis Moses Sisawo described the partnership between his ministry and 3D as \u201ca pivotal moment\u201d in mainstreaming human rights in education. He highlighted the organisation\u2019s provision of new school furniture, its agricultural initiatives, and its expanding presence on digital platforms such as Facebook and TikTok.<\/p>\n

Director Bartha Marong of the National Records Service reflected on the organisation\u2019s resilience, saying 3D has grown stronger over the years. \u201cMany groups collapse before their first anniversary, but 3DGam and 3DGlobal not only endure, they grow stronger with time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As the 3D Family enters its ninth year, speakers agreed that its mission remains vital to national development. With projects cutting across health, education, agriculture, and youth empowerment, members and supporters reaffirmed that \u201cDecisions Determine Destiny\u201d the guiding principle that has kept the organisation growing at home and abroad.<\/p>\n
