Jamali is a farming village of the Fula ethnic group located a few kilometres from Janjanbureh, a town of tourist interest because of its proximity to the Gambia River and its colonial past. In the village of Jamali, a cooperative of 25 women, Jamali Women Skill Centre, is dedicated to textile handicrafts, horticulture, and traditional cuisine. The women cook and serve local specialities to travellers visiting the village.
The project, developed with the collaboration of AETHNIC (Association of Responsible Tourism), includes training actions aimed at improving the skills of the cooperative's women in cooking and baking techniques, business management, and the construction of a traditional kitchen and oven to offer quality catering services under food safety conditions.
