Key Points

  • World Vision Ghana and Interplast Limited have partnered to provide safe drinking water to over 1,500 residents and 800 schoolchildren in Kwakuri and Akorsahkrom, Asutifi North District, Ahafo Region.
  • The intervention, part of the Ahafo Regional Integrated WASH Programme, addressed long-standing issues of unreliable and unsafe water sources.
  • Interplast supplied high-quality HDPE pipes and technical support, facilitating the construction and rehabilitation of water systems.
  • Residents report immediate life-altering changes, including improved health with fewer cases of diarrhoea among children, and more time for work.
  • School attendance and hygiene practices have significantly improved, as pupils no longer need to leave school to search for water.

Why This Matters

This initiative is crucial for Ghana as it exemplifies a successful public-private partnership addressing critical development needs, particularly in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Such projects directly improve public health, enhance educational outcomes, and contribute to community productivity, serving as a replicable model for sustainable development across the nation.
