Due to the current lockdown, our center is closed. If needed, please contact us via +220 365 4860 (Ismaela Gassama, in Gambia) or via tiloogambia@tiloo.ch or tilooproject@tiloo.ch
Even as a non-profit and tax-exempt organisation we still need to cover our costs.
Solar cookers and tunnel driers should remain affordable to people in Gambia. In addition, we value fair work conditions for our employees in Gambia. As such, we are dependent on financial support from others.

The carpenter volunteer Salvatore arrived last Monday in Latriya: Welcome to the Tiloo Gambia team! His current task is to set-up Tiloo’s own carpentry workshop. Moreover, he is going to make the construction plans of the solar cookers and dryers for Tiloo carpenters.
90 percent of the population in the Gambia use, in the absence of alternatives, firewood and charcoal as the main energy source. The deforestation has far-reaching consequences: Increase of the prices for firewood, soil erosion, threat to biodiversity and increase of the climate change.
It has been four weeks since the opening ceremony. We can look back on a successful and intensive time. The planning of the Shop on the project site is in progress – soon we are going to sell solar produced products like babyfood, dried fruits and roasted peanuts.
The Solar Association Tiloo opening ceremony was a big success. With the sun shining all day long the weather was perfect for officially opening the solar project center in Latriya.
At its General Assembly on the 24th of March 2017, the Solar Association Tiloo approved of the Tiloo Yearly Report 2016 which can be downloaded here (in German only).
The solar muffins convinced not only the students of Latriya but also a reporter from Teranga FM and eyeafrica.tv. The reporter was very interested about what we are doing at Solar Association Tiloo.
On Saturday April 29th 2017 we will hold the grand opening of our project center in Latriya. The Tiloo staff prepared an interesting and versatile program for all guests.
