Named after his ancestor, the historical Kunta Kinteh, Hagieh Kinteh was born and raised in The Gambia where he is a respectable community figure who is sought by locals for personal and social advice.

Hagieh Kinteh owns the Kunta Kinteh guest house which serves as a meeting point between locals and foreigners. Not only that, his work experience in Germany, makes him the perfect link to the local community and culture.

Hagieh Kinteh gave a compartment of his guest house to be used as a clinic for medical missions providing free healthcare for the locals.
