Hydrachem Company‘s key distributors in Ghana participated in a one-day training session hosted by Eternal Water Ghana Ltd, with the vision to secure healthy drinking water in Ghana.
The CEO of Eternal Water, Stephen Oduro Aboagye, emphasised the crucial need for safe drinking water for everyone, regardless of economic level, during a speech at the training session held on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, at Danpong Medical Centre in Batsoona, Accra.
Mr. Aboagye’s concerns about clean drinking water go back to his childhood in a rural village outside of Accra, Ghana. His earliest memories recall the struggles of his family and others in the village to find clean water. Early each morning before school, he would walk for many miles to the nearest stream to help collect water for his family.
After collecting water, his family still had to worry about its suitability for drinking and saw many suffer from illness tied to drinking unsafe water.
At the training, he emphasised how alarming deaths in developing nations are linked to unsafe water, particularly for children. In his speech, he mentioned that proactive steps are needed to be taken to improve the situation.
