Gambia is on the west coast of Africa and is one of the poorest countries in the world. Just south of the Sahara Desert, Gambia is a relatively, peaceful nation. Unforunately, lacks natural resources and tourism opportunities. The land is so unproductive, invaders don’t want it. The Gambian climate has two months of heavy rains and then ten dry months. It makes farming quite a challenge. Water in natural rivers and streams is unavailable during for the dry months. Raising crops is impossible without a consistent water source..

Local Georgetown resident Bruce Gordon took on the challenge on making a difference. In 2018, working entirely through a local village contact. Bruce donated $10,000 for the installation of a solar powered pump, well digging and water tower, site unseen. Bruce though skepical of being scammed, felt in his heart it was the right thing to do.

Though it was many miles to the nearest cell tower, pictures started arriving. To-date. 5 solarpowered borehole pumps & water towers are installed in the small Gambia village. It has become a thriving farm community. With 365 days access to clean water, it provides jobs and food for the surrounding villages.
