Over 1,500 residents, 800 pupils benefit as World Vision and Interplast Water Project transform Ahafo communities
World Vision and Interplast Water Project transformed communities after struggles with unreliable and unsafe water sources in the Asutifi North District of the Ahafo Region. The intervention provided clean water to more than 1,500 residents and over 800 schoolchildren under the Ahafo Regional Integrated WASH Programme.
Interplast supplied high‑quality HDPE pipes to support the construction and rehabilitation of water systems in underserved communities, following a memorandum of understanding between the two organizations. Ama Serwaa, a mother of three in Akorsahkrom, said, "We used to wake up at dawn to fetch water from a stream that was not safe," and "Now the water is right here in the community. Our children are healthier, and we have more time for our work." Kofi Mensah, a community health volunteer, said, "Since the water came, we've seen fewer cases of diarrhoea among children," and "This project has brought real relief to our people." Adwoa Nyarko, a teacher at one of the beneficiary schools, said, "Pupils no longer leave school to search for water," and "Attendance has improved, and hygiene practices are much better."
World Vision Ghana and Interplast say they remain committed to expanding access to clean water.
