The Day celebrates water and raises awareness on global water crisis. But another core focus of the observance is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.

The Technical Director of EWfE also urged the communities to play a key role in ensuring the sustainability of the project.

According to him, without the support and cooperation of the people, all that the NGO seeks to achieve can not happen.

Dr. Kofi Boakye, the District Health Director of the Ghana Health Service, delivered a brief statement on the reduction of diarrhoea in the communities and expressed gratitude to Easy Water for Everyone for their efforts.

In order to assure the project’s long-term viability, he also advocated for community participation.

The Chief Superintendent of the Ada District Hospital, Dr. Narh also gave a short talk on the importance of clean and safe drinking water and how it affects the health of people.

There was proposal to create Easy Water for Everyone Clubs at each of the island schools; this was accepted by the various Head Teachers.

These clubs would be formed in the schools by the teachers. The purpose of the club is to create awareness on clean and safe drinking water and sanitation.

Teachers in charge of the club were advised to take the support of assistants or other teachers in order to keep the group running in the event that they were unavailable.
