KerewanU.S.Association(KUSA)

We, the members of the Kerewan U.S. Association (the Association), residing in the United States of America and the Diaspora have recognized the need to unite by coming together to pool our resources, skills and talents for the purpose of significantly contributing to the overall development of Baddibou Kerewan and its environs so as to advance the well-being of its people.

 

We further recognize that, as descendants and well-wishers of Kerewan that we share a common heritage that imposes on us a sacred duty to complement the efforts of the Gambia Government and the Kerewan Area Council by organizing ourselves and mobilizing resources so that we can significantly empower the people of Kerewan with new opportunities for development as a direct response to decades of development paucity and neglect.

 

We commit ourselves to being advocates for the advancement of Kerewan and its environs and being agents of change for a Kerewan that is prosperous, advanced and worthy of its status as the Administrative Headquarters of the North Bank Region.

 

We hereby strongly reaffirm that our actions, initiatives and interventions will always be guided by the dictates of the law of the land and the Constitution of the Association in supporting the development interests of Kerewan and the well-being of the members.

 

Now, in recognition of the foregoing, we, the members of the Kerewan Diaspora, deeply concerned about the inadequate development of Kerewan, but encouraged by the nobility of our cause and an abiding faith in our individual and collective abilities to make a difference, have decided to come together to establish a charitable body called the Kerewan U.S. Association with the acronym (KUSA).

 

This Association will bring together members from all works of life on a common platform to primarily discuss issues pertaining to the development of Kerewan and its environs.  The association shall operate through a needs based programming approach that is highly inclusive and free from partisan politics. The association is registered as a 501(c) (3) non-profit under the US Internal Revenue Code and its operations shall be governed by U.S. law, this Constitution and other legal instruments duly adopted by the General Body.
