Who are we?
ASBL "Water for Toubacouta"
"Water for Toubacouta" is a non-profit organisation founded on 27 March 2023. The directors are Luna Vanthoor, Arlette Casters and Luc Vanthoor. How we came to establish this ASBL can be found elsewhere on this website.
The purpose of our association :
The purpose of this ASBL is to gather financial and material resources. These resources are then used, under the supervision of local reliable contacts, for the construction of wells and irrigation systems.
These wells should provide the local population with fresh and potable water outside the rainy season.
This is because the region around Toubacouta has a dry "Steppe climate" and for about six months a year there is no rain. Our focus is mainly on the vey small villages and settlements around Toubacouta where there are no utilities.
Together we are stronger
We are also working with the Senegalese administrative authorities to prepare a piece of land made available to us by the municipality of Toubacouta for growing vegetables. This piece of land currently has an area of about 1.5 hectares. We will initially fence this land, then deforest it and prepare it for vegetable cultivation. This land will be divided into a number of plots which we will then make available to the neediest families in Toubacouta (Mostly women with children, without husbands).
