Pottal fii Bhantal Fouta Djallon was created as a result of two organizations Bhantal Fouta Djallon and Pottal Fouta Djallon. When the two organizations merged the new name changed to Pottal Fii Bhantal Fouta Djallon (Fulani for Union for the development of Fouta Djallon). At the begining the goal of the organization was to put money together to build schools, hospitals, museums and many other things in Fouta Djallon Guinea West Africa. However that goal changed quickly or at least got postponed for the future when the organization opened its office in the Bronx. People both members and non members started coming forward to talk about their problems and asked the officers for help. Among the problems there are immigration issues, health care issues, housing issues, children education issues, adult education issues and many more. With all those problems, the board called a meeting of all the members to talk about shifting programs. It was decided that day that from now on Pottal Fii Bhantal will focus on helping people here first and the rest will come latter. Now days the organization has become a one stop shop for everything members and non members need. We work with other organizations such as CAMBA (Church Avenue Merchant Association), The International Center, Affinity Health Care, USA Drug Plan, to provide help and services to members. We created a conference line where we invite a specialist of Immigration, family counselors, or food specialists to provide advice to people every Tuesday. The audience been growing every week and we get more than 1000 auditor connected some weeks.
