”The community of Jajari is one of the oldest and cultural settlements in the district. It was regarded as the throne of the five pillars of the Kingdom of Badibu which was called Bijankeer. The founders of the village were believed to have migrated from the great Timbuktu in Mali many centuries ago. They were regarded as the Sibikarang Mansa in ancient days. The community is located about 3 kilometers North of Illiasa along the Trans Gambia North Bank Road. It has a population of about 400 people. It is a subsistence farming community. Some fishermen engage in tilapia fishing along the Bao Bolong creeks. The community is large and its current water source is not enough to provide clean drinking water for the community which makes most areas of the village vulnerable to consuming bad water causing illness to people especially children.”

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.
