MPASASO NO 2 GETS IDP SUPPORT ON SANITATION
International Direct Help Project ( IDP ) has commenced the construction of some key developmental projects at Mpasaso No. 2 a community in the Anafo Ano South District of the Ashanti Region. The projects include, one drilled mechanized drinking water, one modern toilet facility and solar panels that will serve as a source of power for the supply of potable water across the community.
Mpasaso No. 2 is a farming community with a population of about 4,500.
The major challenge that the residents of Mpasaso No. 2 initially faced was lack of potable drinking water and proper toilet facilities to serve the community.
These problems were therefore identified by DAMAK SANITATION WATCH AND HEALTH NEWS REPORTER, Mr Akgri M. Daniel, who, on behalf of the community, wrote a proposal to IDP, founded and managed by Mr Pierre Paul Pettitjian from Switzerland, for aid to the people of Mpasaso No. 2 with potable water to ensure healthy living in the community, and also help protect them from water borne diseases that they easily come into contact with, from the contaminated ponds and wells they have been drinking from for decades.
The people of the entire community had only one major source of water in which most of the time they do queue before they could get the opportunity to draw water from the wells. Actuality ( picture of the well) The proposal written by Damak Sanitation Watch and Health News to IDP, was considered. The Mpasaso No. 2 community had been awarded with the above mentioned key developmental projects to help reduce the challenges some deprived communities are going through.
The community has five basic schools one clinic for about eight communities and a police post.
The school age children in the town is about 20% of the population and this includes basic and tertiary education level. The aged constitutes about 2.5%, civil servants is about 7.5% and farmers 70%, making the total working force 77.5%. Below is pictures from the during the commencement of the project as at 24th September, 2019.
