Join the engaging discussion on literature, language, and community spaces with The Orange Library, PRIM & The Common Press.
About The Orange Library
The Orange Library led by Fatour will be a safe space for teenagers and young adults to find themselves and each other in The Gambia. It will be an inclusive space with literature and language that will respect, care for, and tell stories that reflect back to these young people. Donate to the crowdfund HERE.
