In 2009 Ida Njie founded the PS Njie Foundation a non-profit organization, to help Gambian disaster victims. In the years since the project began Ida accepts donations, goods and supplies and personally oversees the transport, arrival and distribution of the much-needed supplies.
At least once a year Njie returns to Gambia to continue her quest and is currently overseeing the building of a new medical facility which will house several exam rooms, with electricity and running water.
