Alasan Senghore, who was speaking in an exclusive with The Point, acknowledged that most of the people in communities are in dire need of assistance when it comes to basic amenities.
He made reference to a case in Kanilai, a community that used to entirely depend on electricity to power its water projects in gardens, putting the burden of prepaid electricity bills amounting to tens of thousands of dalasis on locals.
With the advent of solar water pump project, he said, this daily nightmare among locals is now a thing of the past.

Senghore maintained that the humanitarian organization will continue to try and identify the needs of the people and help in finding solution to it.
