COME, I’LL SHOW YOU
ACHIEVEMENTS THAT INSPIRE
In The Gambia, auto mechanics traditionally have been all men, but now women are making their own path. Women auto-mechanics Mariana Sambou and Fatoumata are pioneers in their sector and both proud of their work. Fatoumata, the boss of workshop ‚The Gambia Female Automotive Service Provider‘ (FASP), wanted to create a different environment for women in the field after learning of the harassment they were experiencing in local workshops. Marciana encourages women to join this career and doesn’t let ridicule or the beliefs of others stop her. After breaking these barriers, is there anything that stands in their way?

COME, I’LL SHOW YOU THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
THE GAMBIA
The Gambia (officially the Republic of The Gambia) is located in West Africa and is the smallest country on the continent. It stretches along the Gambia River of the same name and is almost completely surrounded by the state of Senegal. The capital is Banjul. More than half of the people live in the metropolitan area of the larger cities. The official language is English, but more than 20 other languages are spoken.
>/br>
The economic situation in The Gambia is very unstable and a large part of the population suffers from poverty and unemployment.
>/br>
After the end of the dictatorship in 2017, reforms were introduced for more media plurality and some private radio and television stations were established. The Gambia is ranked 87th out of 180 countries in the 2020 press freedom rankings published by Reporters Without Borders.
