The tower for the water system at Brufut Sotokoi Tintino has been welded. Now just a coat of paint and we can finish our last water system of the year.

The tower for the water system at Brufut Sotokoi Tintino has been welded. Now just a coat of paint and we can finish our last water system of the year.

In Brufut, we plan to install two new water systems this year. The first will be in Brufut Kenbaring, just east of the Tanji Bird Sanctuary. The second will be in Brufut Sotokoi Tintinto.
With the help of young and old, we are erecting the tower in Kenbaring. It holds two 5,000-liter tanks that feed the village's nine taps.


Faala Village's water system was an older one. It was a central building with ten taps and a 1,000-liter water tank on the roof. We're adapting the system to our current standard: a tower with two 5,000-liter tanks and nine taps distributed throughout the village.

Festive inauguration of the new school in Farab Suutu. Celebrations were held with great enthusiasm, and Omar Saidy, our Gammol representative in Gambia, received a Certificate of Appreciation from the local community.


The new school in Faraba Sutu has opened. These are the first students. More will be joining soon.

The new school in Faraba Sutu: the roof and windows have been installed, it's tiled, and the painting is underway. The school will open within a month.

In Mandinaba, we installed a water system with taps on the public road a few years ago. During a previous visit, we noticed that the village itself had installed several water points in private compounds. We requested that these private taps be removed, but the village refused. Water in private compounds is against the agreement: all taps must be available to everyone free of charge.
Therefore, we are dismantling the water system. It is with a heavy heart that we are doing so. We are recovering the water pump and solar panels and will reuse them elsewhere.

The rice harvest seems to have been good at first glance. Now everything needs to be processed. We're curious about the final result: what has it yielded?

Gammol is invited by the governor to the foundation stone laying ceremony for the new Deep Sea Port in Sanyang, in the presence of Gambian President Adama Barrow. The Sanyang region is a prime example of Gammol's strong presence. One of our water facilities is also located in the port. This is certainly a recognition of what we do in The Gambia.

One of the water tanks in Nimisat has cracked, is leaking and is being replaced.

Construction of the new school in Farabaa Sutu is progressing well. The six classrooms are already very recognizable.

In Gidda Sukuta, we noticed that there was sometimes insufficient water to supply both the garden and the compounds. This is especially problematic after sunset, when the solar panels are no longer working. As promised last year, we will therefore install a second water tank here, doubling the capacity.

The Gammol School Committee is meeting. Common teaching materials and end-of-school assessments are on the agenda.

Sanyang Garden has several water systems to supply the vegetable gardens. Gammol is committed to maintaining these systems. We do ask the villagers to help. A tower is being painted here. We provide the materials.
