Women's Work Community The Barrow Foundation

Dankunku has a public elementary school next to a small clinic, agriculture, cattle breeding and forestry slightly. The village benefits from the project of rural water supply by the installation of standpipes at strategic locations in the community. Still, there are no water line connections to individual households. There are no electricity or telephone connection, this will, in most parts of the community, communication extremely difficult, or it is minimal.

Barrow & Cousins Family Foundation

People operate in the region, both livestock breeding and agriculture. The most crucial monoculture in the area is peanuts. The main food crops are rice, millet, and various vegetables. However, therefore they must rely heavily on support from other family members and/or relatives who live in other areas.
Dankunku, beside the river, has a lot of wild horses, animals. These include monkeys, bush pigs, hyenas, and until a few years, tigers and leopards that occur; however, because of the high deforestation in the area no longer exist. Yet all this could be introduced in the area with the support of appropriate projects. My foundation would like to welcome members & visitors to our ecovillage village Project in Dankunku.Dankunku as a rich cultural/traditional heritage. Culture and tradition are usually seen in this community as an essential factor to promote unity, cooperation for mutual trust, understanding, and cohesion among the people. The annual cultural festival is held there will always be welcomed as 'Homecoming Festival' for people from Dankunku who currently reside far away. This provides an opportunity for the families, friends, relatives, and loved ones to reconnect.
