“Jakoi Bintang Village is located 3km north of Kabocorr along the Trans-Gambia South Bank Road. It is a Jola tribe community. The community is one of the oldest villages in the district. It is a subsistence farming community growing groundnut and millet. According to sources, the community consists of the “Gibba” and “Badji” clan who are custodians of the culture and traditions of the Jola tribe within the Foni Bintang belt. The community’s water source is broken and as a result they are facing severe water crisis.”

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.
