Communities such as Nchumuru, Kadyebi, Asunafo, Goaso, Aveyime, etc., in the Oti, Volta, and Ahafo regions, get an approximately 45,000-litre water boost from a partnership between World Vision and water tank producer Polytank.
The two-year partnership will see the installation of water storage tanks in schools and healthcare facilities in these communities, ensuring that the water distributed is clean and safely stored for use.
During the signing of a memorandum of understanding between World Vision Ghana and Polytank Ghana Limited, the partnership aims to improve access to clean water, enhance sanitation, and promote sustainable development across beneficiary communities.
Speaking at the event, Jean-Claude Mukadi, Interim National Director of World Vision Ghana, highlighted the unfortunate situation where many people face challenges in accessing clean water in the country currently.
He assured that “through this partnership, we will ensure that the 26 storage tanks provided by Polytank are strategically distributed to communities, schools, and health centres in critical need of clean water solutions.”
“This is just the beginning. Our joint efforts in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives will enhance public health outcomes, promote environmental sustainability, and empower community members to take charge of their own development, further advancing the targets set under SDG 6,” he assured.
Meanwhile, the Business Head of Polytank Ghana Limited, Girender Mohinani, says the partnership is timely, especially at a time when stakeholders are alarmed about high turbidity levels and the presence of metals in some water sources.
He expressed joy in the partnership, reiterating the company’s mission to support households.
