The Ghana Red Cross Society (GRCS) is to provide 31 mechanised boreholes to some selected 31 communities across the country.
The Volta Region will have three of the boreholes and that will include North Dayi District Tornu.
Mr Gershon Koffi Dzokoto, Volta Regional Director of the Society who disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said the project formed part of the “COVID-19 WASH” campaign to limit the spread of the disease.
He said though regular handwashing was one of the key protocols of curbing the spread of the virus, lack of water in some communities posed a great challenge to the people to adhere to the measures.

In Killa Abdullah and Duki, two districts in rural Balochistan, Pakistan, only 11% of children aged 12-23 months are fully immunised, and only 8% of girls are fully immunised, compared to 18% of boys. In collaboration with International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and with support from the Pakistan Red Crescent Society, Common Thread travelled to rural Balochistan and asked families and health workers about their experiences with vaccination services. This footage was a complement to conversations Common Thread had with over 80 people at 8 local health centres in Duki and Killa Abdullah to help IFRC better understand how to improve demand for immunisation.
