We are here to support vulnerable women and girls every step of the way — with resources, skills and opportunities that build independent, dignified and sustainable lives.
Better Hands Association (BHA) recognises violence against women as the broad, interconnected issue that it is. We're here to uplift and support vulnerable women — changing everything, one life at a time.
We empower women with the tools, resources and opportunities to become financially independent and confident decision-makers.
Our training programmes and educational support equip women with practical skills to secure jobs or start their own businesses.
We promote women's health by facilitating access to essential healthcare services, maternal care and health awareness programmes.
We advocate for women's rights and provide support systems, awareness and safe spaces to protect women from abuse.
Every contribution goes directly towards skills, healthcare and safety for women and girls in The Gambia.
Women whose lives have been transformed through support, skills and opportunity — now thriving, independent, and inspiring others in their communities.
This programme changed my life. I can now support my children and run my own small business with confidence.
Before, I struggled to make ends meet. Today, I have skills, income, and hope for a better future.
I am grateful for the support I received. It gave me strength, independence, and a new purpose in life.
We advocate for equal opportunities in education, economic empowerment, reproductive health rights and women's participation in politics — and we make our voice heard on every matter affecting women and girls. Achieving equality demands that our activism is intensified.
