In a world where headlines are often filled with division, The Gambia stands as a quiet testimony that faith and harmony can walk hand in hand. Here, Ramadan is observed with devotion, yet without tension. Muslims fast and pray with sincerity, while Christians worship freely in their churches, undisturbed and respected. There is no competition of belief, no hostility in difference only mutual honor.

This spirit of tolerance is not new to us; it is woven into our history, our families, and our daily lives. In this blessed month, we are reminded that true strength lies not in uniformity, but in unity. The world does not need more arguments about religion it needs more examples like ours.

A cleaner Gambia starts with us.
