Ashoka Fellow 1998

fatou jobeFatou Bin Jobe was elected an Ashoka Fellow in 1998 for her work in Gambia, where she is helping school children bridge the gap between what they need to learn and what they are given at school.

Through A Better Chance (ABC) Learning Center, she provides affordable remedial education to fight against a chronically under-funded public education system and extremely high dropout rates.

In this short interview with Global X, she tells the story of two sisters who had lost all motivation to study as they entered high-school as they had given up entirely on their capabilities. Despite the low self-confidence they had then, one is now is a banking marketing officer and the other is a lawyer.

Fatou Jobe's advice: "Focus on what you do best and how you can share this talent with other people!"
