Nana-Jo Ndow, founder of ANEKED, a Site of Conscience in The Gambia, stands alongside a portrait of her father, Saul Ndow, who was forcibly disappeared under the country's Jammeh regime. The portrait was part of "A Duty to Remember," a traveling exhibit funded by the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.

Remembering Is a Radical Act

“We have Memory House because of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.

They were the generator. Nothing like this has ever been done in The Gambia.”

- Nana-Jo Ndow, Founder of ANEKED

Dear Friends,

For 22 years, Gambians suffered torture and disappearances under the dictatorship of Yahya Jammeh. Working with the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, the African Network Against Extrajudicial Killings and Enforced Disappearances (ANEKED) created a groundbreaking exhibit that centers survivors’ stories, exposes truth, and rebuilds trust within the community. In 2021, the exhibit served as the foundation for a permanent memorial center, The Memory House, founded by ANEKED. This transformative step toward justice and accountability is possible because of your support.

This Giving Tuesday, we thank you for helping us turn memory into action.

In solidarity,

The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience
