Progress in our Gambian villages continues to flourish,help us help more!!!!

April 14 2011

During the first months of 2011 our projects in The Gambia have blossomed with the water systems all fully operational ,and even better the villagers have gathered a fund of 25000 dl (about 600 STG) to support the water system into the future.

These funds are being generated by themselves with the brickmaking machines ,beekeeping,and the vegetable gardens. You can see from the photos below that the gardens are producing great crops which ar helping the diet and being sold in the market.

We have had several donors visit the sites and reported back how delighted they are with the progress and what temendous work Momadou and his team are completing.

The original 20 beehives have now grown to 53 in Njongon.

The women are making and selling local beads .

A new chicken and duck house is being completed which will also accomodate the goats ,as you can see in the photos.

We are delighted that the projects are developing their own impetus now and hope you can see how our model has benifitted so many.Unfortunately there are several villages all waiting for help as well,please consider sending a donation or visit our jewellery pages and buy a lovely birthday present as all the funds from that go to our project.

This is the vegatable garden in April and  you can see the garden is blooming The women have the irrigation wells right beside their garden which eases the workload,they still have to lift the buckets up 25feet. A new constuction is nearly complete which will house the latest addition to our project,rearing chickens,ducks and goats Some the women have got involved in making and selling jewellery in the local market. Two brick making machines are finally installed in a purpose built building and are producing bricks for sale
