The Parah Foundation commissioned a GHS 60,000 mechanised water project in Adeiso-Domeabra, Eastern Region. This new facility provides clean and reliable water to more than 300 families. The project addresses a critical need for safe water access in the community.
The initiative directly benefits residents of Oppong, Musa, Odeng, and surrounding areas. These communities previously relied on unreliable water sources, including streams, for their daily needs. The lack of clean water placed a significant burden on women and children, who often travelled long distances during dry seasons.
This project aligns with broader efforts to improve basic infrastructure and living standards in Ghana's rural areas. Access to clean water is a fundamental development indicator, impacting public health and economic productivity. Data from the Ghana Statistical Service consistently highlights disparities in water access between urban and rural populations. Such community-led interventions complement government initiatives to achieve universal water coverage, a key component of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Reverend Remi Gharbin, Founder of Remi Gharbin Ministries, stated the project offers more than just water. He emphasised that clean water is a fundamental right, bringing hope and improving living conditions. The Assembly Member for the area, Hon. Kofi Owusu, expressed profound gratitude for the intervention. He noted it addresses one of the community's most pressing needs, promising positive impacts for future generations.
The successful implementation of this project underscores the role of non-governmental organisations in national development. It also highlights the importance of community involvement for sustainability. A Community Water Management Committee has been established to oversee the facility's operation and maintenance. This local management structure aims to ensure the project continues to serve residents effectively for many years. Decision-makers and development partners will observe how such community-managed systems contribute to long-term infrastructure resilience and improved public health outcomes.
The Adeiso-Domeabra project includes a mechanised borehole, an electric pumping system, and a 10,000-litre overhead storage tank. Five water collection pipelines are strategically located within the beneficiary communities. Interfort Company Limited executed the construction, completing it within one month. This rapid completion demonstrates efficient project management and resource deployment. The Parah Foundation, the humanitarian arm of Remi Gharbin Ministries, has undertaken similar water projects in Gomoa Oguaa and Tinkong Tenurase. These efforts contribute significantly to Ghana's water security agenda. The Foundation continues its focus on clean water, healthcare, education, and community empowerment initiatives across the country.
