We shall soon enter the dry season in our part of the world. From this December 2025 till mid of April 2026, we shall be having dry weather with less rains. Our people therefore have to face a lot of challenges during this period without any reliable water availability in the communities. Our people have to rely on the main water bodies and streams in the communities, which are now heavily polluted with dangerous chemicals as a result of illegal mining activities. Some of the old hand dug wells constructed 12 – 15 years ago for the communities have come of age and needs to be rehabilitated and new borehole water system constructed for the communities. Population in these communities have increase over the last 10 years and the demand for clean water accessibility has increase.
In the absence of clean water from this hand dug wells and boreholes water system provided for the communities, people have to go back to the polluted water from the streams and water bodies in the communities. Considering the health risk of our people, something serious must be done to immediately change the situation. Our people women and children 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. Help us by donating generously to make clean water available to our people.
Please tell family and friends to also donate to help us repair and restore clean water availability as well as start new borehole water system in the project communities to ensure good health of our people.
