PORTABLE WATER IS STILL A PROBLEM IN RURAL COMMUNITIES.
Rural communities in the Northern Region
still struggle to have access to potable drinking water as shown in the
photographs taken at Kpallbisi in the East Gonja District.
The situation of access to safe
water and sanitation in rural Ghana is even more disturbing to see how women
and children in this communities walk for mile and struggle to have access to water.
Speaking to Mr. Salifu Saidu Daari,
the Assemble man for are explained that, the over 1,500 population have no access
to safe drinking water, place of convenience and electricity.
He said, there are limited sources
of water available to provide safe drinking water to the entire population,
where the only source is the surface water which is often highly polluted.
Though the practice is not hygienic,
but we don’t have any option than to do it, he stressed.
Women and young girl spend most of
their time walking miles for their daily water needs.
He also said that, diseases such as
cholera are spread rampantly during the wet season where the young ones are
very vulnerable.
The assemblyman then pleaded for the
Government and other philanthropist to come to the aid of the community.
