Water 4 Life project in Gambia

In Mariam Kunda, Gambia, women and school aged girls had to walk more than 500 metres just to access the nearest water point. On average, the smallest household spends at least 3 hours just fetching and cleaning water to meet the daily needs of the family.

MGR has commissioned a water well for this community which has a population of 2,675 people. The water well will improve the quality of life this community can now have bringing them access to clean water daily without the need to take up hours of every day.
