Gartenprojekt Kunjata hat bereits Bohrloch, benötigt noch Zaun, Pumpe, Solarpanele und Wasserbecken. https://www.handinhand-africa.com/gartenprojekt-kunjata Hand in Hand e. V. Quick start of the new project in Kunjata In mid-August 2024, our head of association, Kerstin Gebhardt, visited the village of Kunjata. The village is very close to Farafenni. Kunjata has been on our waiting list for a long time. We decided in favour of it because we already have a borehole. The village elder, the imam, the alcalo (mayor) and all the men and women came together at the meeting. It was a very friendly group who were delighted with our support. There was a meeting and, as is customary, the men sat on one side and the women on the other. The women could hardly believe their luck as they had been waiting so long for a garden. We were serenaded by the women as a farewell gift. Just two weeks after we promised our support, work began on building the fence. In mid-September, we received the news that the site had been enclosed with 600 metres of fencing. The subsequent work, such as the water tower, solar panel and water basin, had to be postponed. The melons are still ripening at the planned site. But if the further construction work is realised at this speed, another project can be handed over at the end of the year. But this can only happen with your support. Support us with the campaign, 80 euros for a water basin (click on this link to go to betterplace). 1/1

Project https://kerstintenschert.wixsite.com/handinhandev/en/s-projects-side-by-side Hand in Hand e. V. About our project work Our association was founded on June 1st, 2014 and since then has been working hand in hand with the local people, looking for solutions and opportunities to implement agricultural projects. Helping people to help themselves always comes first in anything we do. We are regularly visiting The Gambia and have initiated and successfully implemented numerous projects. Since 2018 we have been working with the Gambian partner association "Farmers for Change Association" (FFCA). With our guidance and support, FFCA was able to advance the upcoming organization and planning of the projects on site. There is still a lot to learn about the billing and bookkeeping of the projects, but they are on the right track. This requires, our steady committment to help, time and explanation of the importance of these processes.. By promoting agricultural self-sufficiency, we want to show people a perspective and a way forward. We see it as our task to show the population, especially the young people in the less touristy areas, a chance for a better life in Gambia and thus contain the causes of flight. We are also fighting for this here in Germany. Through various photo exhibitions and information evenings, we point out the conditions and plight of the people in the Gambia. The many successes of our work are also presented at these events. The women's gardens are more important than ever, especially with the immense price increases on all essential products. The basic requirements for a garden are the same for all projects. A borehole or well with associated pump, solar panels, a water tower, water basins, pipes to the water basins and a fence are required. The costs are not affordable for the residents, so we take it on as an association and finally hand over the project to the village. Gartenproject for Kunjata Our current project is in Kunjata (near Farafenni). The village elder, the imam, the alkallo (mayor), men and women were all very sympathetic and very happy about our support. We discussed all further matters. A borehole is already in place. The construction of the fence started two weeks after the announcement. At this rate, all further work could be completed by the end of the year. But we need your support for this.

Fence for Mara Kissa https://kerstintenschert.wixsite.com/handinhandev/en/zaun-f%C3%BCr-marakissa Hand in Hand e. V. Fence for Mara Kissa Our new garden between Mara Kissa and Busura is under construction. In January 2025, Kerstin Gebhardt took a look at the new project in Mara Kissa. This garden has been on the waiting list for some time. The call for help came from the local village teacher, who is also trained in agriculture. The women and men of Mara Kissa are trying to cultivate the land, but the biggest problem is the free-roaming cattle. At the moment, the men are sleeping on site to drive the cattle away. Otherwise all the effort would be in vain. The advantage is that the borehole, tower, pump and two solar cells are already in place. This means that the 150 x 150 meter plot only needs to be fenced in for the time being. As always, the village elder, many women and our contact person are present at the on-site appointments. Kerstin took a close look at the situation and had the situation explained to her. Of course, she also tested the teacher's knowledge of agriculture. She was very surprised and pleased. Finally someone who understands his subject. So we agreed that he would visit the women in our other gardens and pass on his knowledge to them. It's a great win-win situation. The villagers have already shown a great deal of initiative. They financed the 31-metre-deep borehole, the tower, a pump and, for the time being, two solar cells themselves. They took out a loan for the necessary water tank. Hats off to this achievement. This shows how important a functioning garden is to them. The area is already being cultivated. However, the fence is still missing. After consultation with the members, the residents received the go-ahead in mid-April 2025 and the necessary fencing material for the area was delivered. The men started work immediately. We will soon be installing more solar panels and building the necessary water basins. But all in good time. For this we need the necessary money and your support. If you are also convinced that this project should receive further help, then click on the following link at betterplace, 80 Euro for a water basin (click on this link to go to betterplace). Thank you very much already.
