Agricultural Project in Sittanunku, Northbank, The Gambia - January 2012

Picture
To help the village members of Sittanunku to set up a Football Academy Farm equipped with 2 professionally dug water boreholes, robust pumps and hoses - we also need to fence the whole area (50 x 200 metres) to stop animals from eating the crops. This project will allow Sittanunku village to grow crops all year round which will provide vegetables for the community and allow them to generate an income. 20 UK fundraisers will will travel to The Gambia in January 2012 and assist Sittanunku with this project; they will be required to camp onsite at Sittanunku for 2 nights! If you want to get involved please email: info@footballgambia.org

There are other mini projects going on as well with St. Albans City Youth FC, Middlesex University and Sutton Utd working with local football academies.

We will also be playing 5 matches in the evenings in Brikama, Sittanunku, Gunjur, Lamin and Serekunda which will attract some large crowds.
