In 2003, 10 cows and 50 sheep and a charriot and horse were provided for a mauritanian refugee camp in Northern Senegal. The option to visit a veterinarian was available. In the following years by co-operation this herd multiplied to a large herd of cows and sheep. It provides income and independence for this amount of mauritanian refugees who are permanently settled now in Senegal.

In 2002 we started an agriculture project: concerning 3 ha. By solar energy installed in 2009, the water is much cheaper (no use for oil) and thus it pays off to extend the project with 2 ha more. An african agriculture engineer has been involved to train people during 2 years, to enhance and market the production. A market has already been established. 45 Families earn their living now, by this project.

We started in 2009 with the installation of solar energy in the village where we developed in 2002 a water-tower, layed on a network of watertubes, -metres and village taps. We also build a school, healthcare centre, a studio for women and a youth centre.

The water-tower provides now every day, by the installation of 75 solar panels, in between 100.000 > 150.000 l of clean water. The school is able to connect a computer. Women are able to buy a specialised electric sewingmachine for mosquito-nets. Youngsters hope to start an informatica education in 2010. The healthcare centre has acces to light and a solarenergy coolingbox to preserve vaccinations. Clean, sustainable and not expensive. The money saved by all his, will provide for other needs in the development of the village, without outside support.

Agriculture, for 3.800 villagers and for selling in city markets. In this village a waterproject started with support of Silent Work. Thus supplying sufficient water to irrigate 3 ha. The fences have to be very strong to prevent camels eating the harvest. Irrigation has been realised by laying on tubes and constructing watertaps. Cabbages, carrots and onions are cultivated.
