Last year we started building a nursery school in Sanchaba. We installed 4 classrooms and a room for teachers and management. Now we are expanding the school. Two classrooms, a kitchen with storage space and toilets will be added.

Not far from Sohm, in Faraba Sutu, we will place our sixth well of 2022. The last one before the rainy season starts. This well provides 2800 people with clean water.
By choosing villages that are close to each other and installing the wells immediately after each other, we can better coordinate the works. In addition, the councilor, competent for the region can more easily monitor the proper use of the installation.
Sohm is located about 30 km inland in the south of the Gambia against the Senegalese border. Yet soon more than an hour's drive from our offices in Sanyang.
This well provides 3,000 people with clean water. Here too we provide the standard 1000 m of pipeline and 10 taps. If the village maintains this installation good, it can be expanded.
Sanyang Garden is a 10-acre fenced area where residents of Sanyang can grow vegetables. Water is pumped into large water basins after which it is used to irrigate the plots.
Many water basins are leaking, causing the pumped water to be lost, and taps and pipes are also defective. We seal the basins with bitumen and repair the pipes and taps.
In the Gammol house, our headquarters in Sanyang and a place to stay for students and nurses, the wooden doors need to be replaced. Moisture during the rainy season and termites damage the doors. We replace 9 wooden doors with metal doors and give them a Gambian color.
The Heilig Graf primary school in Vosselaar supports Gammol. From March 7 to April 1, every class of primary school walks its tour. The first degree 5 km, the second degree 7 km and the third degree 10 km. The students are sponsored and Gammol uses the proceeds to build schools and promote education in The Gambia.
4 813,- euro has been collected.
Congratulations!
Due to corona and supply problems, we were able to install fewer water wells in previous years. This year we are making up for the damage.
We installed our fourth well of 2022 in Mandinaba Darussalam. This well provides 2500 inhabitants with clean, drinkable water.
About three kilometers from the Gambia river, Ba Duma is a district of Kuloro. The water supply supplies clean water to more than 2000 people.
Freetown is a northern neighborhood of Gunjur. The Gunjur Freetown water tower provides 2,000 people with clean drinking water.
Over the past two years, we've had to slow down a bit. Corona and the poor availability of materials slowed down the installation of new water supplies. In 2022 we want to get back on track. The year is not even 14 days away and our first new well is ready.
Madina Salam Tabokoto, a village in the south of The Gambia between Gunjur and Kartung, has about 1700 inhabitants and now has its own water supply. A tower with water barrel and 7 taps in the village.
The new classrooms of the school in Sanchaba are ready. Painted rooms, installed benches, just dust off and clean up.
The school can start.
Our school in Abuko recently got new windows and tiles. Now the entire school is being repainted.
The water supply in the Gammol school of Abuko depends on the proper functioning of the electricity network. If there is no electricity (which happens regularly), there is also no water. That is why we are installing a tower with a 5000 liter barrel. The school always has clean water.
The nursery school in Sanyang was given a new roof and the walls were erected. The work was done by the villagers themselves.
The money was collected by Eveline, Laura and Merel, students who did an internship in The Gambia. Thank you!
