Buzz Women launched in The Gambia in 2018, our first African chapter and a driving force for women’s empowerment across rural and urban communities. By bringing training directly to women’s doorsteps, Buzz Gambia enables women to build financial skills, grow businesses and step into leadership. As the regional hub for West Africa, Buzz Gambia plays a key role in contextualizing our methodology, supporting new partners and expanding the movement across the region.
