Water Project
Water, they say, is life. Due to the essential roles water plays in lives, it is imperative that every life has access to good water.
According to an African proverb, “The greatest crime in the desert is to find water and keep silent.”
In our holistic missions projects, The Kingdom Projects West Africa Office prayerfully attends to the needs in communities to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 5:16)
One of the challenges in most rural communities in West Africa (especially the Northern parts) is access to portable water. Many women and children trek/travel long kilometers to be able to access any available water in order to keep life living.
“West Africa is placed at particularly high water risk, facing the threats of hunger, disease, energy shortages, and poverty due to multiple factors caused by water scarcity, pollution, and flooding.” – International Water Management Institute.
According to Unicef,
“Seventy-six percent of households in Ghana are at risk of drinking water that is contaminated with faecal matter.”
In Northern regions of Ghana, it is difficult to access portable water due to scarcity of underground water. Most villages depend on stagnant dam water which serves both human and animals. During dry season, many dams lack water which cause the people to trek with water containers in search for available water for their daily use.
“The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. – Isaiah 41:17
Through the love of Christ, TKP-WAO in partnership with Eastside Church of Christ, Terre Haute, IN, began the provision of borehole water for some rural communities who are in dire need of portable water.
Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. – John 7:37
