A US$17,000 water project has been completed at Nanoman, a farming community in the Tema metropolis, to increase the community’s access to potable water.
The project, comprising two boreholes, hand pumps and a water tank, was funded by the Rotary Club of Tema Meridian, in association with its foreign partners in California, USA, and Australia, with support from the Rotary Foundation.
In a speech read on his behalf the Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Mr Robert Kempes Ofosuware, commended members of the Rotary Club of Tema Meridian for their gesture.
He called on the people to build partnerships with the private sector and other relevant bodies across the globe.
Mr Ofosuware said though the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) had the mandate to improve the standard of living of all residents, it had not been able to do so because of its budgetary constraints.
He appealed to the people of Nanoman to adopt good sanitation practices and keep the water safe to improve their health status.
The President of the Rotary Club of Tema Meridian, Mr Patrick Ansah, said the project was initiated two years ago.
He was of the view that the provision of water for the community would not only improve the quality of life of the people of Nanoman and its environs but also foster togetherness and understanding among them.
Mr Ansah appealed to the people to take good care of the project and put in place a maintenance plan that would ensure sustainability for the benefit of future generations.
The Assembly Member for Nanoman, Mr Emmanuel Hammond, appealed to the assembly to support the people with a basic school and also help in paying the salaries of care takers who were currently handling the nursery school in the community.
