The foundation’s main objective is to uplift the status and living conditions of the financially disadvantaged people in our country by helping to provide their basic necessities. The Abubakary Jawara’s Jawara foundation has been so helpful and will continue to be helpful to the socio-economic development of this humble country at no cost, but out of love and mercy for its people that are at a disadvantage of basic life necessities. The foundation does this in response to the hardships faced by the needy to improve on their living standards. We hope that this donation will help the beneficiaries of KMC in improving on their conditions of the rain floods they faced during this period.”
