caption: 'Over the past ten years, Starfish International, located in The Gambia, has motivated hundreds of middle and high school girls to develop a determination to make their families and their communities better through service to humanity. Mona Foundation provides funding for the Starfish Skills and Business Centre, which was recently established to serve as the financial backbone for the organization. The center is an opportunity for community members, particularly 100 girls and women, who never had the opportunity to have or attain a high school education, to learn skills that will enhance their capacity in being financially independent.'
