The village of Bouillagui is located 85 kilometres from Kayes, in the commune of Guidimakan Kerry Kaffo. The inhabitants of this village have been practising off-season farming for more than twenty years. Donkosira supported the last works for the women’s market garden in 2020.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The oases you can see there.<\/div>\n
There are gardeners who do market gardening next to these oases because of the lack of water. In the past, there was a lot of water there, which stagnated for 8 to 9 months after the winter. Now, because of global warming, there is a lack of water. The solution that these gardeners have found is to dig small wells in the marigots.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
