After experiencing problems with potable water for more than 20 years, the people of Anyako can now have free access to water.
Following the commissioning of a water project at Kpota in Anyako by Dr. Emmanuel Kojo Jones-Mensah.
Chiefs and Anyako residents joined him at the Anlo Awomefia SHS.
This project was started by Dr. Jones-Mensah and his KJM Foundation five months ago after he was contacted by some elders and natives and swiftly responded by taking the first step.
A second phase of the water project will continue, according to Dr. Jones-Mensah, with the hiring of technical officers to lay pipes from Heluvi to the main township of Anyako.
Additionally, Dr. Jones-Mensah announced two scholarship openings up to university level each year for gifted but needy Anlo Awomefia SHS students.
Torgbui Kposegi IV and Torgbui Agbetsi Zewu IV, all of Anyako also graced the occasion.
Torgbui Kposegi IV of Anyako Woeto thanked Dr. Jones-Mensah for his humanitarian gesture and prayed for God’s guidance on him and his companies.
“I have been on this throne for 20years and now we have potable drinking water through the benevolence of Efo Kojo Jones-Mensah. We are touched by his kind and selfless gesture. We are looking forward to a long lasting relationship between Anyako community and Dr. Jones-Mensah,” Torgbui Kposegi IV said.
He added, “I have tasted the water. It is sweet and on point. God bless Dr. Jones-Mensah.”
Torgbui Kposegi IV observed he never knew potable water could be discovered in Anyako due to the extreme salinity of the water table of the community.
Dr. Jones-Mensah thanked everybody for gracing the occasion and announced that no community in Keta Constituency will be left behind in the quest to provide potable water as well as address pressing needs towards livelihoods, empowerment and development.
Dr. Jones-Mensah established KJM Foundation with the sole objective of impacting lives and serving humanity.
The Foundation provides potable water to deprived communities in Ghana, scholarships to brilliant but needy students and women/youth empowerment.
