Young Ghanaian author channels book sales into community water project
Gido Napogbong, a young Ghanaian author, is leveraging proceeds from his book to address water insecurity in an underserved community in the Bono East Region. He is leading the Nyaabea Water Project, an initiative aimed at providing safe and reliable drinking water to residents of Nyaabea in the Kintampo Municipality. He said, "My drive is to end the struggle for unsafe and inaccessible water in Nyaabea by providing a reliable, clean water source that protects health through a borehole."
The Nyaabea Water Project seeks to address challenges through the construction of a mechanised borehole system. The project is projected to directly benefit about 2,000 residents, including approximately 800 women, 500 children, and about 300 men and youth. As author of *The Process*, Gido is channelling proceeds from sales to finance the project. He explained, "Proceeds from the book are directly invested into the Nyaabea Water Project to support borehole drilling, installation of pumping systems, and water storage and distribution." The book has so far generated about GHS 6,000.
Gido is now seeking additional financial, logistical, and technical support to advance the project to completion. He appealed, "Achieving the goals of the Nyaabea Water Project requires collective effort. Individuals, organisations, and partners can support through donations, purchasing and promoting the book, as well as partnerships and sponsorships."
