In many villages in The Gambia, women and children walk more than an hour each day to fetch water that is often unsafe to drink. A borehole changes that for the whole village.

Each borehole is surveyed with the community, drilled, tested for water quality and handed over to a village committee. You will see every stage, with photos from our field team.
