The Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, a non-governmental organization in collaboration with the Member of Parliament for Obom-Domeabra constituency in the Greater Accra Region Hon. Ayibor Awuku has handed over a mechanised borehole to the Atsavade Community.
The 10,000-liter water facility would help solve the perennial water supply challenges of the people of the town and neighbouring communities.
The potable community water was designed to provide safe water delivery options tailored to meet consumer demands, especially women and children, schools, and businesses.
A member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, Aamir Malik, speaking at the handing over ceremony, said through this support, he is of the belief that residents of the community will be free from waterborne diseases.
He said:” The projects are their contributions to complement government’s efforts at providing potable water for the citizenry and pledged the organisation’s commitment to continue to provide other social services and amenities to meet the needs of the less privileged and disadvantaged in society through partnerships.”
The indigenes of the community and their member of parliament Hon. Awuku Yibor expressed their joy to be part of the handing over process.
They said for so many years, the community and its surrounding neighbours had been suffering from water crises until now.
The gesture, they noted will alleviate the suffering of the people, who hitherto, travelled long distances in search of potable water.
“We are now free from snake bites and water-borne diseases due to the pollution of the nearby river,” they said.
