Work in progress

De werken voor ons volgende project zijn gestart. We zullen een waterput realiseren in een dorpje op 24 kilometer van Toubacouta. Het dorp heeft ongeveer 400 inwoners en beschikt over water noch electriciteit. Tot hiertoe zijn ze afhankelijk van dorpjes in de buurt om in zoet water te voorzien. We hopen met de realisatie van deze put dus een wereld van verschil te kunnen maken.

Laurens Vanthoor will support us !

We have extremely good news !!! Today, Laurens Vanthoor, one of the very best Belgian racing drivers in the world, has pledged his support to our Water for Toubacouta project ! Laurens is a pilot for "Team Penske" and active in the "World Endurance Championship" with a Porsche 963 Hypercar. Laurens and his wife Jacqueline founded "The Larry Foundation" in November 2022. They are now donating a fair amount of money to our ASBL to realise our goals. In addition, Laurens Vanthoor wants to attach his name to our project, hoping in this way to convince additional sponsors to support us. We are of course very happy about this, as it gives our project a new dimension. Thank you Laurens, Jacqueline and Emily. With your help we can make a difference at Water for Toubacouta Information about "The Larry Foundation" can be found via the following link :

Why are Senegalese trying to flee to Europe ?

More and more Senegalese are trying to reach the Canary Islands in rickety boats, by sea. For example, from the coastal town of Mbour. It is a life-threatening crossing of about 1,500 kilometres. One of the main causes of this migration are the fisheries agreements that the Senegalese state has concluded with the European Union, among others. According to the Senegalese, European and Chinese companies are completely fishing their sea, leaving them with no income of their own. The economic aftermath of the Corona crisis, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine are also causing skyrocketing inflation in Senegal. Young people are therefore going in search of happiness by fleeing Senegal. It is therefore very important to offer prospects to local people and ensure that they can "survive" locally, and not have to flee the country.

Linssen Yachts (NL) wil support our project

We are particularly pleased to announce that the company "Linssen Yachts" from Maasbracht will help support our project. Linssen Yachts celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, and to mark this anniversary, they have chosen three "good causes" with a connection to water. They are committed to supporting us financially with a decent amount, and in addition, for every boat they sell during their anniversary year, they will make an extra donation to our project. Information can be found on their website

Our sincere thanks to Analyz-IT

Welcome to the new website of our project "Water for Toubacouta" This website has been created thanks to the company Analyz-it, Webdesign, online marketing and internet solutions. They support our project and of course we appreciate this very much : THANK YOU to the team of Analyz-it

The first well is ready

We are very proud to announce that our first well is a reality. We got the well covered with tiles to make it more durable. Indeed, bare concrete suffers particularly badly from the sun's radiation, and extreme rainfall during the short rainy season. The realisation of this project was possible thanks to the support of a family from Belgium. We would therefore like to thank them warmly.

As of now, we are a little Senegalese

Our project also has the attention of the official Senegalese authorities. This is why we obtained our residence documents for Senegal through the "Chef de village" of Toubacouta. We are now also a little bit Senegalese....
