In Kuloro Nema, between Brikama and Faraba close to the Gambia River, we are installing a new water installation: a 7-meter tower with 2 water tanks of 5,000 liters, 1,500 meters of pipes and 15 taps. About 4,000 people will receive clean drinking water.

The Sanyang Beach water installation is located at the place where women process fish.
We are adding two taps so that water is available even at the most remote places.

We are also installing a new water installation in Tubakuta. As is now customary: a 7-metre tower with 2 water tanks of 5,000 litres, 1,500 metres of pipes and 15 taps. Here Omar and Lamin from Gammol, together with a few villagers, slide the pump into the water well.

In January, Dirk Depoorter, Dirk Fannes and Hedwig Theunis went on a mission to Gambia. Together with the Gammol team, they want to evaluate the operation in Gambia, visit projects from the past year, prepare new projects, make agreements with local governments and local suppliers.

In Kafuta Village we are installing a new water installation. A 7-meter tower with 2 water tanks of 5,000 liters is our new standard. In addition, we are laying 1,500 meters of pipes and installing 15 taps.

The quality of the water in Joreng was not good. A new well was drilled a little further away. The other components were retained.

The old water tower of Sanyang Beach was no longer safe and was replaced. The other components were retained.

We are expanding our water installation in Fula Kunku. The system with 8 taps in a central building will now have a double tower with 2 barrels of 10,000 liters. This way, water is still available after the deep pump has been switched off. In addition, 1,500 meters of pipes with 15 taps will be laid. The water is also accessible in more distant parts of the village and the women have to travel less.

The existing borehole and pump will be retained. 

The new school in Fuffor starts.

We are putting the finishing touches to the school in Fufford. Painting, placing benches for the students. The school is ready for the new school year.

180 students can take lessons in 6 classrooms. Three classes are for the Nursery school for the youngest from 4 to 7 years and three classes for the Lower Basic School grades 1 to 6.

In 2019 we installed the last central system in Fula Kunku, a building with a 1000 L water tank and 8 taps.

Now we are expanding the installation to our new standard; 2 towers with 2 5000 L barrels, 1500 m of pipes and 15 taps spread across the village.

The school in Fufor will be given a roof and the sanitary facilities will be finished.

In Daru Busumbala there is another water installation from 2012: a stone building with a 1000 L tank on the roof and some taps under a roof. The pump is defective and is being replaced.
