Dibba Kunda in Sabach Sanjal North Bank Region is faced with water shortage pushing families to the edge.
Women in the village spend long hours at one of the village’s only taps, a situation they want addressed by the government.
“Life in this village is very frustrating particularly with women. Imagine we all fetch water from this tap because this is the only tap in our area. We spend hours to secure just a pan of water and carry it on our heads,” Jama Njie tells The Fatu Network.
Bury Sambou sitting on her water gallon waiting for her turn to fetch water says the tap usually opens at 1pm and closes at 5pm.
“Water is a major problem in this village,” she says.
Another person Hawa who is doing laundry says the chore is done in the village with little water.
“Laundry is a nightmare. We gave our complaints to the government when they visited, they promised to help but we are yet to see anything,” she says.
