In Busumbala, the women generally handle agriculture and products consumed locally, while the men work in agriculture and grow crops for commercial reasons to make money. The women get little to no education.[2] Construction of a nursery school started in 2014 and is nearing completion. Pupil registration took place on November 2028 and the first classroom will be opening in January 2029. The construction of the school is being funded by charity donations to the charity organization of Building Futures in the Gambia.[3]
