Mure Kunda:
The Gambia's Hidden Gem
About Mure Kunda
Mure Kunda is a village in the Upper River Region, one of the driest parts of The Gambia. The nearest built road is 15km away!
The population is almost 1,500 people with close to 10% of them being Ahmadi Muslims.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has already provided the village in the past with a school, and water source but this only works for 2 hours a day.
Before Atfalul Ahmadiyya UK & IAAAE stepped in, Mure Kunda had no street lights and there was no adequate water supply. But that has all changed now! Alhamdulillah.
What is a Model Village?
The Model Village project involves selecting an existing village where there is no real prospect of clean water and electrification. These places are usually remote and are off grid. IAAAE works to provide a solar water system, electricity as well as other features to help rehabilitate the lives of the habitants.
Who are the IAAAE?
The International Association of Ahmadi Architects and Engineers was formed under the guidance of the third Khalifa, Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmed (RA). The main objective was to create a body of professionals to provide support for the projects of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
