Who we are

From dream to reality

We are the organisation Ebo growth comminuity center, but we also call ourselved Ebo and Ebo growth CC. We established as a NGO 13.03.23 and opened our pilot project in Gambia 01.09.24.

Our organization was created after an initiativ from Lamin Samateh, our general manager. Lamin grew up in Gambia with a large family and caring parents who did everything they could to help others. When Lamins father Ebrima died , Lamin wanted to honor his father by giving something back to the society in his fathers name. And here begins the story of Ebo growth comminuty center.

Life`s coincidences led Ingrid and Susanne to meet Lamin. Our shared desire to contribute to a better world led us to thinking about how to realize Lamins plans together with our knowledge, expertise, creativity and drive. The organization Ebo growth community center was created. Where Ebo is the nickname for Ebrima, in memory of Lamins father.

At Ebo growth, we have a vision of creating a shared community center where children with disabilities and their families in particular can experience community, inclusion, empowerment and active participation in everyday life.

With us, children and families will have the opportunity to develop new knowledge and new skills through social and educational support that is adapted to the individual's strengths and resources.

We will contribute with knowledge that strengthens the child, but also all the people around them. Through dedicated work,

Ebo growth can counteract stigma and misconceptions, and ensure that all children experience equal rights, access and opportunities in life.
