The people of Ampedwee Koko Junction in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region have made a passionate appeal to the government through the Municipal Chief Executive, Margaret Darko to provide them with potable water since they have no source of drinking water in the Community. The only source of drinking water for the Ampedwee Community is a muddy stream and self-dug manhole which Community members have to get to between the hours of 10:00 pm and 12am before they can get water to fill their pots.
In an interview with GBC News during the launch of the Cool And Friends Charitable Foundation, CAF CAF, as well as the presentation of gifts for widows, needy, less-privileged and the orphans, the Assembly member for Subresu Electoral Area in the Suhum Municipality, Jonathan Odonkor pleaded with government and philanthropists to come to their aid and provide them with drinking water.
Some Community members shared the ordeal they have to go through to get drinking water saying the situation is taking a toll on socio-economic activities.
The Community Leader, Nana Kwasi Budu further appealed to the government to provide them with a School and a Clinic. The mother of the founder of the CAF CAF Foundation, Georgina Ama Tweneboah entreated Ghanaians to offer support to one another and also support the needy and the less-privileged.
Madam Tweneboah noted that 2022 should be the year of giving and offering of support to the weak, the less-privileged, the needy and the have-nots.
The CAF CAF Foundation is a non-governmental organisation that aims to break the vicious cycle of poverty and social isolation in order to restore hope for a better future. The foundation also believes that everyone has the right to access resources and opportunities in order to live and develop in dignity and also contribute actively to the Society.
