Jaimie Alexander Instagram – I loved meeting the inspiring Isatou Ceesay, founder of the Women’s Initiative Gambia ❤️🇬🇲 Isatou began a one woman mission in 1997 to stop plastic bag waste. Now, Women’s Initiative Gambia is working with @selfhelpafrica across 75 communities and 28 schools, providing opportunities for women and young people to become entrepreneurs and environmental heroes. Isatou and her team recycle materials in all sorts of incredible ways, making furniture from car tires, fire briquettes from cassava and coconut and more. Menstrual hygiene pads made by Women’s Initiative are making it possible for many more women and girls to confidently attend school more regularly, too ❤️
