This site is now superseded by a site for the Janjanbureh Tour Guides Association
fulfilling the initial aims of Just Act Gambia. ​
The efforts of JUST ACT, the parallel Gambian Association as outlined below, garnered recognition and support from various sources.
Through their training and unwavering dedication, they established the
Janjanbureh Tour Guides Association in 2019.
They adopted the colloquial name Destination Janjanbureh.
This site will remain active for a short period, allowing you to explore their impressive past achievements.
Just Act Gambia (JAG) was a UK recognised charity founded in 2009 to support income-earning opportunities for youths in Janjanbureh, CRR, The Gambia, in particular, developing Sustainable Tourism. It no longer functions as a charity but the founder Jane Smith continues to support.
JUST ACT grew from the charity and the whole aim was for it to become independent. Through its registration with National Youth Council (NYC} it has benefited from EU funding, developing Community Based Tourism in and around Janjanbureh. It is developing as an alternative destination for the traditional Sun Sea and Sand winter holidays in the coastal region.Funding and grants from a variety of sources has enabled earning opportunities for youths and ensured income goes into the community there and surrounding areas.
The founder of Just Act Gambia continues to support them but now more by promotion and creating desinationjanjanbureh.com designed to provide the essential information required to explore and consider a visit to this unique river island in rural Gambia.
