2500 people in Twifo need clean water to save lives

Project Purpose: The main purpose of the project is to improve access to clean water in 10 identified project communities that will maximize Health benefits and reduce poverty of the people.

Project Descriptions: In the absence of portable water to the 10 identified project communities, the rate of death associated with the 10 most common diseases, which are preventable, has increased steadily in the last 5 years. Infant’s mortality rate is currently very high, 7 out every 10 death result from Malaria, Severe Diarrhea and Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. The poor health of the people in this 10 communities and the rate of death associated with these preventable diseases has now become a big concern to all stake holders in our project area. To address this problem, we have decided to initiate this project aimed at supplying the 10 project communities with reliable and easily accessible clean water through the construction of boreholes fitted with electric pumps where electricity is available and manual pumps at where we don't have electricity. A whole water system shall be put in place with the drilling of a borehole, which shall be connected to a poly tank mounted on an elevated platform fitted with an electric pump and filters to pump water into the poly tank for use by the communities. Manual or hand pumps shall also be fixed to the drilled boreholes in communities without electricity for the people to have access to clean water.

Our Request: £25000

This amount shall be used to drill boreholes, procure electric pumps and filters, to procure poly tanks and to raise platforms to mount the poly tanks, which would complete the water system for use by the communities.

Donate £50-£3000 to help us procure the electric pumps, filters, poly tanks and cement to build the water storage platforms. Donations can be made directly into project bank account provided below.

Last year, thanks to the extravagant generosity of our supporters, we raised $600.00.Within the end of year campaign December 1 to 31, 2014.

These donations and other gifts allowed us to complete one additional Hand Dug Well, which was made possible from the donations. The Hand Dug Well is currently serving 250 people with clean accessible water. Since its founding in 2012, #GivingTuesday has inspired giving around the world, resulting in greater donations, volunteer hours, and activities that bring about real change in communities. We invite you to join the movement and to help get out the give this December 1.
