Women farmers in Toroba and Njie Kunda received a five-hectare vegetable garden from ActionAid International, The Gambia, and the European Union under the SAPOF project. The facility aims to advance sustainable agriculture and boost economic opportunities for rural women while strengthening household nutrition across Lower Badibou communities in the North Bank Region.
Village leaders Bubacarr Bah and Ismaila Bah praised the development as vital for food security and women's production capacity. Beneficiary Sainabou Ceesay said the garden increased income, reduced financial reliance, and eased gender tensions. Fatou Ndow from Njie Kunda thanked Toroba residents for sharing land with neighboring villages.
Babou Nyass from Njawara Agricultural Training Centre commended women's adoption of organic methods. The center will provide technical support to maintain productivity. ActionAid established the garden as part of broader efforts to strengthen climate-resilient farming practices for rural women across The Gambia.
