During the live broadcast on QTV Gambia and Star TV, pledges exceeding D2.7 million were made in support of tertiary and higher education in The Gambia.
This builds on the Government of The Gambia’s annual allocation of D50 million to the THET Fund and the D5 million founding contribution from QGroup, reflecting a growing national commitment to investing in human capital.
We extend our sincere appreciation to every organisation, business, philanthropist, diaspora supporter, student and individual who made a pledge or contributed to the success of this initiative. Your generosity represents more than financial support. It is an investment in the future of our young people and the development of a stronger, more skilled workforce.

This is only the beginning. Together, we are building a stronger education system, a more skilled workforce and a brighter future for The Gambia.
