Nene Tetteh Merh III, the Chief of Ahwiam in the Ningo/Prampram District, has appealed to non-governmental organizations and social institutions to support their community with the needed amenities.
He said some individuals and organizations, over time, have come to promise them with the provision of boreholes, clinics and other social services, but are yet to deliver their promises.
The chief made the appeal when the Ghana News Agency was taken round by the Assemblyman, Mr Francis Teye Addotsu to inspect some of their sources of water for their household use.
Nene Tetteh Merh III said: “Even the pond water that we share with the animals is drying up because of the harmattan and we are pleading with government and philanthropic organizations to come to our aid.”
He said it was expensive to depend on water tankers and sachet water for domestic chores, forcing the people to resort to all kinds of ground water with its attendant of health problems.
Mr Francis Teye Addotsu, Assemblyman for Ahwiam, also appealed to the Ghana Water Company Limited to restore water supply to the community, saying six months now the taps have not been flowing.
The Assemblyman said there was no health facility in the area and the people depended on drug stores for their health needs, which create problems to pregnant women during delivery.
He appealed for an urgent attention from government and the assembly to help solve their concerns.
