“This is a Mandinka tribe community located about 1.5 kilometers West of Noo-Kunda Village along the Trans-Gambia North Bank Road. It has a population of about 250 people. It is a traditionally subsistence farming community growing Rice and groundnut. Of recent, the community has embraced growing seasonal water melon which is sold at local markets called ‘’Loumo’’. The community has persistent water crisis leading to some community members using open wells causing sickness especially among children under 5 years. Most of the times people use donkey carts to travel to the nearby village of Noo-Kunda, a normal round trip of which is about 3 kilometers. This water shortage has caused a huge stress, fatigue and disruption in their daily lives socially and economically.”

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.
