Support a family and village in becoming autonomous.

Over the past years ive been in contact with a kind man and his family,

They are living in The Gambia in most challenging survival conditions.

The current situation in the Gambia is deplorable, a study from 2020-21 showed that atleast 53.4% of the population lives in extreme poverty and can't or can barely meet their basic needs. over 76% is below poverty level on the countryside.

Mr. Paousman and his family have been battling these challenges their entire lives.

Work is exceedingly rare to come by.

The solution to these challenges and equally the dream of Paousman and his family is to aquire land and start a environment friendly organic farm to provide for the family and with sufficient growth provide for his entire village.

organic farming is becoming increasingly favored in the gambia, see this beautiful article on the matter.

not only do these eco friendly farms provide healthy nutrition, being a small minority they also set a example to all other farmers how we can grow food without using life threatening chemicals that seep long lasting pollutants in the groundwater and destroy the entire ecosystem.

(besided the serious consequences to peoples health who expose themselves to thesw chemicals by treating their crops and eating produce sprayed with insecticides, herbicides and given artificial fertilizers)

I believe humanity is as strong as its weakest link, and it is therefore a privilege as inhabitants of wealthy countries to provide relief for the people who are battling starvation in any little way.

As of currently in 2024 a single rice bag of Rice with the weight of 50KG is sold 2000 Gambian Dalasi, converted to USD: $29,52

This will provide basic nourishment for a while so that his family and any other villagers he knows that are in need can remain vital.

Mr. Paousman and his family have no access to banking, henceforth they asked me to create this fundraiser.

I will forward all donations trough local cash forwarding services, as this currently is the only way for them to receive funds from abroad.

Thank all of you kindly who are taking their precious time to read this and for considering sharing your providance.

May the living waters of life pour forth trough all and nourish all in need
