Amasaman (Greater Accra) 27 May ’99
Four Communities in the Obom electoral area, near Amasaman, have been provided with potable water by JACKAI, a Japanese NGO at a cost of 50 million cedis.
The communities of Obom, Obokwashie, Kofi Donkor and Kwabenafio have each been provided with a borehole fixed with a hand pump.
Mr Samuel Duodu, assemblyman for the area, said the beneficiary communities contributed a total of 2.6 million cedis representing five percent of the cost of sinking the boreholes.
With the provision of the facility the people would be relieved of water borne diseases like the guinea worm.
