Projects - School Garden Fence

Name of ProjectSchool Garden Fence
LocationGambia
Description of Project

The community would like to install a permanent fence around the garden area of an elementary school to keep livestock out. The latter roam freely in the village and often come into the garden to eat the crops which are being raised for food for the students at the school.

The community will provide at no cost to the school the labor for building the fence and some of the materials such as a wooden gate, and sand and gravel for cement. The grant will pay for chain link fencing, steel posts, wire bindings, and cement.
