Hands Together for the development of the Gambia is an association from West Flanders which is supporting with united forces projects in the Gambia.
People in the smallest and most populated country in Africa have serious health and feeding problems. Some nurses at the hospital in Waregem are intensely working in order to solve part of these problems and reaching hands to the Gambian people.
During their last visit in January, they installed a solar hydraulic pump on their Milk and Honey project. This pump is pumping up the water in an ecological manner in order to provide drinking water for the people and is also watering the vegetable gardens for the women.
Thanks to new technology (Terra Cottem) which has been applied in the vegetable gardens for women, vegetables can be cultivated during the whole year, even in rain seasons.
M. Werner Galle, honorary president, and Mama Gambia, secretary, were offering the doctors Kinneh and Babubacar a starting kit. Doctor Kinneh is the first female doctor who got her degree at the university department in Banjul and Doctor Babubacar, as a wheel chair patient, is working for the handicapped patients in the Gambia.
The organisation has been arranging a new classroom for the nursery students at Bansang. In the hospital at Bansang they have installed an operation room and all instruments were supplied in order to do sterile operations.
All those projects contribute to the development of health and feeding of the population in the Gambia.
"Those who are ready to join hands together, can realize the biggest challenges" is one the basic ideas of the president of the organisation, M. Luc Decock.
