“Bambakolong is a village located along the Trans-Gambia South Bank Road about 12 km West of Kudang. The community is a Fula and Mandinka settlement. The village name originates from the mandinka words Bamba Kolongo which means crocodile pool. It is believed to be an ancient traditional sanctuary for early animist settlers. The community is a subsistence farming community, growing maize, groundnut and rice. The community is faced with water crisis as the current water source is broken. This has led to many people using contaminated open wells which has detrimental health effects.”

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.
