Disclaimer:This is not the work of the charity
but people involved in the charity are operating this project
We all know the drill! Wash you hands frequently.
But what if there is no water to do so?
During March/April youths I know personally were working with Tekki Fii in Central River Region (CRR) The Gambia, West Africa
Whereas Covid 19 does not appear to having taken hold in the country, the measures to restrict have placed severe deprivation of food and education was vital
Over five days they focussed on villages bordering the Senegal, reaching 15,000 Gambians from 12 villages providing sanitising equipment, disinfectant and hand washing stations and vital guidance
Remote villages such as Galleh Manda and Saloum were sensitised

On the fifth day they visited Ranerou, variously named as Renurru and Ranerry.
It was here that they heard of the water situation
“How can we wash our hand when taking shower is a problem?
The only well in the village is 61 meter deep, how can we fetch from there??
Our alternative is going to Senegal to buy water?"
Priority is given to their cattle often meaning no showers for days and certainly hand washing is a problem.
Covid-19 situation in The Gambia is being closely monitored and although cases are low in number all have been imported cases. As of early June there are thought to be 26 cases and only 1 death. (Population approx 2,400,000) However there were cases in Ranerou imported from Senegal where there are far more infections and it is vital that they do not need to make this journey.
Two leading youths, both well known to me, decided to set up this project. Organised by Justice MK Saidykhan in cooperation with Omar Jammeh and supported by Governor Abba Sanyang they are raising funds to help install a bore hole in Ranerou and provide rice throughout the vulnerable areas of CRR
