Aunty Haddy Jatta, a dedicated cleaner at the University of The Gambia, has served for 25 years. In December 2024, Film Studies II students created a documentary and podcast to honor her contributions, leading to a fundraising campaign supported by the Journalism Students‘ Association. As a result, Aunty Haddy received:

– A king-sized mattress, pillows, bedsheets, and curtains

– 10 bags of detergent powder and 17 bags of charcoal for her future small business

– D5,000 to open a savings account

– An additional D5,420 for spending money

Njie Charakh World Market pledged a monthly allowance of D5,000 to her. The initiative aims to recognize her hard work and dignity, ensuring she is never forgotten. Gratitude was expressed towards all supporters, especially the university’s management and Prince Sankanu, for their leadership.
