WaterIsLife.com field team visited Ghana to research 230 villages in need of clean water in the Tolon Kumbungu District of Northern Ghana. Organized by Iddrisu Abdul-Aziz Boare (below left), WaterIsLife.com Program Coordinator-Ghana, the team was warmly greeted by the District Chief Iddi Manza, and his staff. The Tolon Kumbungu District offers primary schools, two secondary schools, a police station, clinic and maternal health clinic. The team visited eight villages to learn of their water needs, and how WaterIsLife.com could make an impact to transform these communities in the Northern District.
With additional help from Abdulai Lansah (above R), District Guinea Worm Coordinator, and many others, the village visits were extremely successful in capturing data and information on the areas water crisis, and how WIL can provide assistance.
The team was able to meet with each village Chief, their Elders, as well as spend time with the community women leaders. In each village time was spent time at the water sources, understanding the water needs, discussing long term solutions and health and hygiene concerns.
WaterIslife.com will partner with many to supply personal water filters, help provide a long-term clean water solution and share health and hygiene support to each of these villages. Once these basic needs are met, children can go to school, lead healthier lives – which will ultimately these transform communities.
Thank you to District Chief, Iddi-Manza, the District Director and their staff for their gracious welcome, and we look forward to working closely to help many villages obtain clean water and raise healthy children.
