The two entrepreneurs are both passionate about supporting young people. One idea that is being considered is a skills exchange between the youth in The Gambia and Equatorial Guinea.
Mr Nchaso Bekari offered to host a Gambian in Equatorial Guinea who can come and collaborate with a cohort of young people on a specific project and vice versa. Mr Khan fully supports this suggestion, and is keen for PointClick to extend its innovative outreach programmes beyond The Gambia.
During their meeting, it became obvious that there are common challenges in the two countries when it comes to youth development and skills training. By sharing their resources and networks, Mr Khan and Mr Nchaso Bekari can forge a partnership that will have a positive impact on young people on the continent.
