Day in day out, the accessibility of clean water in our communities is increasingly becoming a big challenge to our people in the rural project communities. The activities of illegal mining in the communities continue to pollute our river bodies. As a result, water from this water bodies are heavily contaminated with dangerous chemicals like mercury and others. Out of poverty and necessity, our people still go to use water from these rivers in the absence of clean water availability. In some of the communities, the hand dug well water facilities we provided for clean water accessibility by our people are mostly broken down. Some of the water facilities are over 12 years old. We need your immediate support to repair and fix new handpumps on the old water facilities as well as construct new ones to make clean water available to our people.
Because of selfish politicians and local authority individuals, the central government war on this illegal mining activities over the years has not make any successful impact. Our people in the communities including Florence Gyesi (not real name) and her children in one of our project communities are crying for clean water availability in their community.
Donations to our project over the past five years has not been forth coming, we are therefore appealing to you all to help us. Tell family and friends to donate generously to help us address clean water accessibility in our project communities to save lives.
We are still counting on your generosity and look forward to receive your donations soon.
