Location
Minteh Kunda, Central Baddibu District, North Bank Division, The Gambia
Community Description
Minteh Kunda is a Mandinka community of about 1,000 people. There is a lower basic school and a small clinic in the village.
Three months ago a tap system was constructed in Minteh Kunda. Since the construction was completed, water has become far more accessible to the citizens of the village.
Inside the Minteh Kunda Lower Basic School, a tap was constructed near one of the side entrances. However, it is far away from the current garden sites. As of now, teachers and students are carrying water from the tap quite a distance to the garden.
Project Description
This project is to run a water supply for irrigation of three garden sites inside the Minteh Kunda Lower Basic School.
Water Charity funds will be used to purchase 50 meters of piping to connect the existing tap to the 3 sites, and to install faucets.
The school and community will provide all of the labor.
Project Impact
405 students, as well as 10 teachers, will benefit from the project.
