Review of PING Achievements and Activities in 2025
Introduction
As we conclude the year 2025, our NGO reflects on a period of significant growth, impact, and learning. This report provides an overview of our key activities, achievements, and the challenges faced over the past twelve months.
Key Achievements
-
We completed 5 water systems and one upgraded system during the year.
-
WE brought on board another volunteer who paid for one village and has offered to pay for another in 2026.
-
Our representative has visited all the projects at least three times this year and we are visiting this month to ensure all work is complete and up to standard.
Programme Highlights
Throughout the year, our team worked tirelessly to deliver essential services in areas such as clean water plus sustainable activities to support the maintenance of the systems.
Our student Neneh Sowe has found new deserving projects and ensured all are completed successfully.
Financial Summary
Our financial health remains finely balanced, with prudent management of resources and transparent reporting. Income streams diversified, and expenditure was carefully monitored to maximise the impact of every pound spent.
Challenges and Lessons Learned
Although we got involved in a bakery in Mbullet Ba ,we have really learnt that our focus must stay with water systems as we get the best longterm value for our donors and our villages. Our representative Neneh Sowe has worked well but we recognise that we need another person with more gravitas to ensure villagers look after the water systems as we move into the future..We will split the country into north and south bank and utilise two people and save travel expenses.
Looking Ahead
For 2026, our focus is on water systems and , expanding our outreach, and enhancing the effectiveness of our programmes. We remain committed to our mission and grateful for the continued support of our volunteers, donors, and community partners.We have a definite confirmation of support for 7500 from a Rotary Club ,and 7500 from our new volunteer.
Conclusion
2025 has been a year of progress and resilience for PING. We have a list of 11 villages asking for water systems ,so we have a tough year ahead trying to find more donors.
