“The Village is located about 6 km northwest of Tampoto via the Trans-Gambia South Bank Road. It is a Mandinka and Manjago tribe settlement and a subsistence farming community growing, mainly cashew and some millet and with a handful of men engaged in tilapia fishing along the banks of the river Gambia. The community is faced with water crisis. Its water source serving the community is far less than the population, due to the breakdown of its handpump serving half of the village and as a result it has led to water crisis within the community. Women travel to nearby villages searching for water severely affecting their life socially, economically especially within the very poor households.”

This project was undertaken as part of our campaign of projects that actively reduce carbon emissions. This project helped the community save their much needed wood which was previously being burnt daily to boil water. This project has also eliminated the many thousands of hours previously spent on walking to collect water.
