Dawda Jatta

Founder of BAMEEN CIC began planning this project after realising from his various voluntary works in Hull that most people on low-income especially BME communities are less or totally disengage in environmental activities in the protection and development of their communities.

As a MSc Environmental technology graduate from University of Hull, with passion in community development, he thought he should engage these communities and groups get involved in environmental activities that would also help them do and develop their skills and qualifications through scheduled environmental programmes. He believes that this opportunity will be a great chance to learn from each other to make the city an example when it comes to
community environmental activities.

Dawda feels the nature of his degrees and his community work experiences has prepared him for
such an exciting challenge. His aim is to help especially the less privileged understand and take
part in their community development so they can leave a legacy for their children.
