Update on Water Project & Women's Garden

FOP Board Member Alieu Nyassi arrived in The Gambia on July 22, where he will stay for 2 weeks. Alieu will visit a number of villages in The Gambia with broken water systems to interview Village Development Committees and review the project sites to gather information for the board's selection of systems to repair over the next few years.

Over the next three years, the FOP board will be raising money to fund the repair of the water systems that are selected by Alieu and the board. Here is a presentation that explains a bit more about this initiative: Click here.

Over the next several weeks, a group from Operation Crossroads Africa is living in the village and constructing a durable fence to protect the village garden from resident animals. FOP is funding a large portion of the project. Check out the blog post below for more info about the women's garden project.
