A considerable number of Gambians are currently displaced in Europe without a legal perspective to stay.  But a return to The Gambia does not seem easy either. Solar Village aims to help path the way for voluntary and successful returns to The Gambia.

The “Solar Village” shall offer economic opportunities, such as vocational training, employment and ways of self-sustenance. It will offer social opportunities and social networks for a successful re-integration into the Gambian society. It shall have sustainable energy generation, clean water supply from wells, and a waste managing system. It shall be developed, built and driven by and with locals and Gambians that have returned from Germany in cooperation with NAMEL (www.namel.de), a German-based non-governmental African cultural association that has experience with projects in The Gambia as well as Nürtingen-Geislingen University (NGU - www.hfwu.de).
