Power Watcher Network

Does your area suffer from power outages?

Power Watchers press two buttons: power off, power back. Nothing else. Your name and reports are never published.

What we ask of you

  • Report the moment the power goes off in your own home.
  • Report the moment it comes back.
  • Report only what you see yourself — never what you heard from others.
  • Stay neutral. We record facts, we do not campaign.

If you are also concerned about the power situation in your area, join us. Your reports help turn frustration into facts and build a public record of electricity supply across The Gambia. Neutral, verified data is the first step toward better planning and fairer decisions for everyone.
