Water extended to three communities in Tamale

WATERAID, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) working in the water and sanitation sector, has extended pipe-borne water to three deprived communities in the Tamale, metropolis.

They are Nyohini South-West, Nyohini South-East and Dungu.

For several years, many households in these communities had no access to potable water although situated in an urban area.

In Nyohini South-East, for instance, the residents relied on a dam in the area, which also serves animals in the area.

Gumani happens to be one of the areas that mostly got flooded and the cause of this annual disaster has been attributed to the clogging of drains in the area by all manner of debris including plastic waste, sand, tins, cans, and organic waste.
