By founding a seed company, Gambia will become less dependent on seeds from abroad. At the same time, due to the location of the seed company's property close to the center, workshops can be held for women on the site and they can be shown new ecological farming methods and agriculture intended as permaculture.
These methods can be verified through a show garden. These ideas should be transferred to community gardens and would help to change current farming methods and establish agriculture that uses less water and makes the soil more economical through its own compost.

Our project goal is to establish an ecological village garden in Bumari, The Gambia that promotes community spirit and increases local food security and food sovereignty. The garden aims to use sustainable farming methods and ecological principles to create a healthy food source for the villagers. The irrigation system is set up with a solar-powered deep well. In addition, the garden will be included in our organic farming learning community, where village communities can learn agricultural skills and learn about sustainable practices. The learning community already consists of 5 village communities and has an ecological “learning farm” in the region that serves as a training and meeting place.
The aim of this project is to improve the socio-economic and environmental conditions of rural and peri-urban schools and students through better access to sustainable clean drinking water and WASH infrastructure in certain schools in The Gambia. WASH is an important requirement for good health and preventing the spread of germs and diseases, including the CORONA virus. This project of groundwater drilling in combination with solar-powered pumps, an elevated drinking water tank and the simultaneous installation of a wastewater system in the sanitary school facilities is intended to meet the needs of the children and students in the town and in the school - with regard to clean drinking water and hygiene.
With sustainable agricultural projects, YIRABAH Gambia improves the living and nutritional situation of village communities by building village gardens in rural areas of Gambia. The goal is ecological agriculture and a resource-saving economy. Permaculture and agroforestry techniques are the basis for improving soil quality, building humus, reducing erosion and regenerating natural landscapes with high biodiversity. By creating an 8ha model farm, the village communities will be trained in these sustainable agricultural systems. These agricultural systems make an enormous contribution to protecting the environment and improving the climate. The model farm is currently an important producer of healthy fruit and vegetables and specially produced agricultural products, which are sold on local markets and contribute to food security. As a source of energy for our irrigation systems and drinking water supply to villages, we only use solar energy to operate the pumps in the deep wells. The “Light for Africa” project supplies private households with solar home lamps. The lamps are built in cooperation with the Youth Research Center in Sindelfingen with students in projects or MINT subjects and donated to students in Gambia. By replacing harmful kerosene lamps or candles with environmentally friendly home solar lamps, many household fires and respiratory health problems are prevented.

The association provides the framework for initiatives that are committed to Africa - for example in the establishment, maintenance and operation of schools and educational institutions as well as hospitals and social facilities in African countries. We also want to be a contact point for all African citizens, regardless of their nationality their religion.
We have set ourselves three tasks: – Advising and supporting asylum seekers in all questions regarding their stay and in finding a training and job position. The political influence that our goal of “work and training instead of deportation” can be implemented. Keywords: immigration law / demographic change / changing lanes. Gambia local development aid by supporting suitable projects through collected donations. The local project sponsor is the Diocese of Banjul of the Roman Catholic Mission Gambia - Saint Joseph's Family Farm (SJFFC)
The purpose and goal of the association is to support and promote self-help projects for people in West Africa, especially in the states of Sierra Leone and Gambia. The statutory purpose also includes material support for hospitals and orphanages as well as schools.
We are committed to a development partnership between Baden-Württemberg and Gambia, comparable to the country's commitment to Burundi. We see the model of these partnerships as a contribution to migration and asylum policy in Europe
FernWeh -Tourism Review- is committed to critical tourism policy education and public relations work. With a view to the North-South relationship, we draw attention to the growing social contradictions as a result of current tourism events. We show the interconnections of social, economic and ecological aspects in and with tourism and place them in the context of social power relations.
