Kindly Donated by Colicci Through Purchases of Life Water

“This community is situated about 2 KM north east of Kambong along the Trans-Gambia south bank road. It is an isolated and remote community. It is a subsistence farming community, growing groundnut, maize and Millet. The village women engage in a seasonal cultivation of native forest fruits like “kaba” and “foleh”. This is often sold in the weekly markets of Bwiam and Kalagi. Proceeds of these goes to supporting household food for survival. The community is a Jola tribe community with a handful of Fula tribe that migrated from the eastern part of the country. The community has only one water source which has not been functional for a long while and as a result severe water scarcity hits the village resulting to villagers travelling to long distant villages of Kambong and others searching for water.”

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.
