Help empower a young Gambian orphan to build a sustainable taxi business, enabling him to support his siblings and secure their basic needs.

I’m Abdoulie from The Gambia, and I’m seeking support to start a small taxi business that will help my siblings and me rebuild our lives after the loss of our parents. This venture will allow us to afford essentials—like food, rent, and school—and restore our path toward self-reliance and stability. Your generosity can spark a lasting impact on our future.

The Story

Four years ago, my siblings and I lost both of our parents, and life has been a daily struggle since—especially for basic needs and education. Despite these hardships, I remain determined to build a better future—not just for myself, but for my family. I’m not asking for charity, I’m asking for a chance: a chance to work with dignity and uplift my loved ones. By supporting this campaign, you’ll be empowering us with hope and independence.

The Details

All funds will go toward purchasing a reliable used vehicle, covering licensing and startup costs, and securing initial operating expenses. With this business, I plan to serve my community while consistently earning enough to pay for food, school fees, and rent. My goal is to launch within 2-3 months of reaching the fundraising target—and with your help, I know it's possible.

A Word from My Friend

Aslamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, my name is Hrolf, and I’m the one quietly working behind the scenes to help bring this campaign to life. Since GoFundMe isn’t available in The Gambia, I stepped in to set this up on behalf of my dear friend, Abdoulie, so he can raise funds for his dream—starting a small taxi business to support his orphaned siblings.

For the past several months, I’ve personally been sending him $100 every two weeks to help him inch closer to that goal. But let’s be real—that kind of support adds up fast, especially when you’re juggling your own responsibilities. That’s why I’m turning to this generous community for help. With your contributions, Abdoulie can finally get a reliable vehicle, earn a steady income, and maybe even open doors for other young Gambians in need.

He’s never once broken his word. His dedication, gratitude, and integrity are what moved me to do this—and I hope they move you too.
