OUR NEXT TWO PROJECTS
WITH ONE PROJECT COMPLETED IN ADANKWAME, WE ARE LOOKING FOWARD TO OUR NEXT TO INITIATIVES.
The Automatic Borehole
In Adankwame, we installed a borehole with an automatic pump that (through the use of electricity) draws water from the ground. However, many parts of Ghana do not have reliable access to electricity. For our next two projects, we will be installing pump boreholes—boreholes equipped with hand pumps—so that users can manually draw water from the ground, regardless of whether electricity is available.

The Manual Borehole
In our next two locations, due to a lack of reliable electricity, we have opted to put in manual, pump bore holes, where users (as seen in the images) pump water out from the ground. We acknowledge that this method takes more effort on the behalf of the user, but unfortunately due to political and infrastructure struggles in Ghana, electricity is not reliable, and this is the next best way to provide clean water.
