Flooding isn’t only weather—blocked drains and weak soil buffering turn heavy rain into standing water, damage, and weeks of disruption. Bamboo Foundation Gambia links environmental cleanup to public health by clearing drainage hotspots and building routines that keep waterways open, so improvements are visible, measurable, and immediately felt.

Plastic waste doesn’t disappear—it builds up in streets and drainage channels, then washes into waterways during the rains, increasing flood risk and health exposure. Bamboo Foundation Gambia supports community-led cleanups and simple sorting routines that turn an overwhelming problem into measurable local action.
