Gidda Sukuta is a village in Kombo East with a growing population of 1500 inhabitants. Especially in the region adjacent to Giboroh Kuta there is a need for clean water.

The population helps to dig trenches for the laying of the water pipes through the village. We place a 7 m tower with water tank and 10 branch points.

At the inauguration, councilor Ousman Bah,  Pa Touray of the council of elders and Alkalo Saikou thanked Gammol and their sponsors.

The Gambia does not escape covid-19 either. We send extra medical equipment and provide food for our local volunteers so that they can continue to work for wound care in the villages.

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.

We replace one pump and repair the others. After 4 months there is water again!

Mandinary is a bit more to the north than Makumbaya. Here too, we will install a decentralized water system with a 7-meter tower, a 3000-liter tank and 10 taps.

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!
