Descripton of the village & people: This is a suburb of an old township that is home to farmers and traders. Their houses are built of mud bricks and roofed with zinc, and the town is located on the mail trunk road to Koforidua.
Description of the project: the old well was rehabilitated and restored for use. There was a deepening of the old well, and concrete works were carried out at the base and the walls. An erosion protection wall was constructed around the well and the path of the storm way was diverted. It was then covered with concrete and a new Nira hand pump was installed. |
