Nestled between Bogoso and Bawdie in the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipality of the Western Region, Appiatse has undergone a remarkable transformation, symbolized by the completion of over 120 housing units.
The reconstruction efforts, initiated immediately after the disaster, have provided a fresh start for the farming community, offering improved facilities and a renewed sense of hope two years after the tragic incident.
In January 2022, a collision involving a vehicle carrying mining explosives led to the destruction of the entire community. Since then, the government has been steadfast in its commitment to rebuilding, resulting in the completion of 124 housing units and additional amenities for the survivors.
The newly constructed homes, ranging from one-bedroom to seven-bedroom units, are equipped with enhanced facilities, including a market, classroom and kindergarten blocks, internal roads, water and electricity supply, drainage systems, and water storage facilities.
