About This Publication
Since 1993, the “National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC)” has been the sole state distributor of Water and Electricity throughout The Gambia. However, the company has been struggling to adequately meet the demands of its subscribed customers while still unable to cover the whole country. Over the past couple of years, citizens have been complaining of either water shortage, unfixed busting pipes, smelly or colorful water supply form NAWEC. During this period of global pandemic caused by the Corona virus, frequent washing of hands is highly recommended by the World Health Organization to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Thus, the absence or shortage of water caused by NAWEC will leave families and individuals vulnerable to catching the virus.
