The World Vision Ghana, a Christian charitable organisaton, has built a 20,000-litre capacity mechanised water system worth US$35,000 to Denchemuasue community in the Bodi District of the Western North Region.
Mr Joshua Baidoo, the Strategy Integrated Programme Director of World Vision Ghana, who commissioned the facility.
He said during their assessment across the district, they realised that the major problem of the people of Denchemuasue was the lack of good drinking water.
They therefore decided to construct the water system for them.
Speaking to Ghana News Agency (GNA) after the handing over, Mr Joseph Awuku Darkwah, the Interim Cluster Manager of Diaso, said the mechanised water system would provide safe water to about 1,600 people from 320 households in the Denchemuasue community.
He said: “The water system is to help them because most diseases are contracted through drinking unpotable water, so this will help minimise the outbreak of cholera, diarrhoea and other diseases in the community.”

Mr Darkwah appealed to the people to take good care of the facility to help permanently solve their water problems.
Nana Kwasi Gyabeng II, the Chief of Denchemuasue, expressed gratitude to World Vision Ghana for the kind gesture.
He said the mechanised water system had come at the right time.
Nana Gyabeng pledged to ensure proper management of the facility to ensure its longevity.
In a related development, the World Vision Ghana has donated a weighing centre worth GHC40,000 to the people of Attaboka in the Bodi District of the Western North Region.
Mr Stephen Matey, the Officer in Charge of Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) at the Bodi office of World Vision Ghana, handing over the centre, said the gesture was in response to a request made by the chiefs and people of Sefwi Attaboka to assist them to acquire a weighing centre in the community.
He said the move was also in line with the government’s agenda of sending health care services to the doorsteps of the people, particularly those in remote areas.
