Ndey Mariam Jammeh

2018 RFGEE Scholarship Recipient

As a young child, I was surrounded by substance abuse, violence, and poor life choices that put me in foster care. Through your support, I have accomplished much of what I never thought possible. I am proud to say I have worked hard to be where I am, but I certainly could not have done it without your help
