Sanyangha Village, Kombo East District, The Gambia

“This community is located about 3 km west of Bullock along the Trans Gambia south bank road. The community is about 350 people. It is a community dominated by the Jola and Manjago tribe. It is a subsistence farming community growing groundnut, watermelon and palm oil. Most members of the Manjago tribe also engage in palm wine tapping harvesting fresh palm wine forsupply to the local markets. The community is faced with severe water shortage especially along the Manjago areas of the village. This has resulted in hardship for the community.”

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.
