Human interest story from a clean-up campaign organised with the women group of Frimponso, a community in the Atiwa East District in Ghana

Madam Comfort Larweh, during an exercise to scrub all water points and also maintain soakaway pits at Frimponso was so impressed with the initiative, especially the direct involvement of the Programme Officers from Centre for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (Mariama and Nasira) in scrubbing the water points in the community and de-silting soakaway pits. She could not help but thanked and blessed the Programme Officers who joined them to do the scrubbing of their water points as well as the de-silting of their soakaway pits. She said: “the community belongs to us, and we are benefiting from the water facility. You are not benefitting but see how you are working so hard to show us the importance of cleaning our water points even though you are not staying in the community and using the water with us”. “God bless you”.
