The Coconut organisation through its global emergency supplies support programme donated buckets with taps to the Gambia Police Force to help them stem the spread of Covid-19.
In consideration of the rapid contagion of the disease and the shortage of preventive supplies in communities across the world, the gesture is meant to enhance the police force in curbing the spread of Covid-19.
The event was held at the Police headquarters on Monday 19 October 2020.
A total of 120 buckets were donated for onward distribution to various police stations in the country.
The Inspector General of Police, Mamour Jobe thanked the organisation for the gesture towards enhancing the work of the police amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Coconut is an international NGO headquartered in South Korea. The organisation was officially registered in the Gambia last year and provides human rights character education, relief projects and talents support opportunities to the underprivileged around the world.
Coconut is recognized as a trustworthy organisation and has established a strong relationship with the government of the Gambia.
The organisation also helped in the establishment of a football club in the Gambia 2018 to support fourth division players.
