Native Organic Hub
100% natural and organic skin care products, all made using local materials too. Their products are amazing, and they use infamous African ingredients such as baobab, shea, moringa, and wonjo.
Top-Shop
Top-shop, despite its name, does not have anything to do with the fast fashion chain so famous in the UK, in fact their values couldn't be more different. They are a family run business, operating since 1985...that's amazing.
They started off as a leather work-shop, and quickly transformed into a fashion manufacturer. They later began to add various arts, crafts, jewelry, printed T-shirts, and more, all made locally, supporting the local economy in the process.

Women's Initiative
The Women's Initiative is an amazing organization founded and ran by the beautiful Isatou Ceesay.
This incredible woman began empowering other women in 1997. She gave and continues to give them motivation to succeed and skills to better their lives whilst creating unique products from waste materials. From purses, keyrings, baskets & skipping ropes made from plastic bags, to compost bins & tables/chairs made from recycled tyres. We are so impressed with the variety of amazing products, all upcycled from what was once worthless waste into unique treasures!
They impressed us so much, the first Growing A Green Gambia raised money for them...8000GMD to be exact!

Ousman: Master Weaver
Ousman is one of the last master weavers in Gambia! And he makes some truly amazing things. Bags, belts, scarfs, clothing, you name it, he can make it. And it's all done on a handmade, very Gambian, loom, it's fantastic.
Ousman is not content making his products. He is actively involved in an amazing project that is trying to revive the once-thriving Gambian cotton industry. The Gambia Cotton Trail...the experts in seed to product production, how cool is that!
