In Episode 29 of the ChicoBag Podcast, Andy Keller sits down with Garrison Harward, Executive Director of Andando, to talk about what makes real change last in rural Senegal.
Andando’s “whole village” approach is built around long-term partnership and local ownership, spanning water, health, education, agriculture, literacy, and small business. Andy opens the episode with what that looks like in the real world: 41 market gardens producing over 2 million pounds of food, 16 health clinics serving more than 50,000 people, 21 schools reaching over 8,000 students, 2,700+ microloans, and 100,000+ trees planted.
This conversation gets honest about the difference between short-term aid and long-term ownership, and why the hardest part is not building the project, it’s maintaining it over time. Garrison also shares a powerful story about a community that spent decades trying to access clean water, and what it takes to make solutions stick after the first investment.
