CCSL is not only distributing seeds and tools. It also tries to improve the infrastructure. In the town of Gbangbatoke CCSL has built a primary school, a court barrie - the central meeting place of the town and drying floors for the corn. If there were more funding the department could start with its well digging programme. During the civil war electricity, toilets and the water system were destroyed.
People use the stream to get drinking water and as a toilet.
Subsequently water born diseases such as blood diarrhea are spreading. That has already caused 200 deaths in the area of Gbangbatoke, where about 4000 people live, chief Tommy Jannah says. People in Gbangbatoke fled their homes in 95 when the rebels came. Most of them were farmers like Tommie Fobbie, who had a palm tree plantation. For more than a year the 60 year old man lived with his wife and five children and about 50 other families in the bush, where one of Tommies children died from fever.
