Empowering women in vegetable cultivation and preservation and setting up a seed company

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.

Ecological village community garden Bumari / Gambia

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 will use sustainable farming methods and ecological principles to create a healthy food source for the villagers. The irrigation system will be built using a solar-powered deep well. In addition, the garden will be included in our learning community for ecological farming, where the 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.

Project for climate-friendly water supply and wastewater disposal

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.

YIRABAH GAMBIA EV

With sustainable agricultural projects, YIRABAH Gambia improves the living and nutritional situation of village communities by setting up village gardens in rural areas of Gambia. The aim is ecological farming and resource-saving economic practices. Permaculture and agroforestry techniques are the basis for improving soil quality, building up humus, reducing erosion and regenerating natural landscapes with high biodiversity. By creating a model farm of 8 hectares, the village communities are to be trained in these sustainable agricultural systems. These agricultural systems make an enormous contribution to environmental protection and improving the climate. The model farm is also 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 an energy source 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 the harmful kerosene lamps or candles with environmentally friendly home solar lamps, many fires in households and damage to the health of the airways are prevented.
