After a long break due to corona and some urgent water projects, we are continuing to build the new school in Sanchaba. Four classrooms, a classroom for teachers and management and sanitary facilities. The works are progressing well. The masonry is finished and the metal roof trusses are ready to be installed.
Sanyang Garden is a municipal agricultural zone of more than 10 ha where the village grows vegetables.
There is no water because the two pumps are defective.

In Makumbaya, north-east of the airport, we are installing a new water supply with a 7 meter water tower, a 3000 liter water tank, 800 meters of pipes and 7 taps. Omar and Lamin have already placed some of these towers this year and know how to distribute the work well. People from the village come to help. Many hands make light work.
About 1500 people have now clean water.

The pump of our water system in Jalambang is broken and needs to be replaced. That's fast, the pump was only installed in the spring.
The Gambian electricity supply is very irregular, causing the pump to burn. We want to prevent this in the future and we installed solar panels that will provide the pump with power evenly.

In Wassadung, a few kilometers from our previous project in Joreng, we were asked to restore their well. This was a project of the European Development Fund, but it is lacking maintenance and needed to be repaired.
We had to drill a new well and we reused the existing material: a tank of 11,000 L with the necessary connections and the pump. This way the entire village gets clean water again.
Joreng is a village with 2000 inhabitants, 126 km from the capital. The need for clean water in the interior is particularly great. The national water and electricity company does not yet have infrastructure here and water and electricity is not available.
The tower is 7 meters high with a water tank of 3000 L and 7 taps scattered around the village.
It is the first time that we have placed a well so far inland. Thanks to our own jeep, we can significantly expand our range. You will certainly see us more in this area in the future!

The water supply of our water well in Mamuda has come to a standstill due to a lack of electricity. The solar panels were cleaned, the fastening of the various components checked and now there is water again. Excellent.
Regular maintenance is still necessary!
