OUR STORY

In August of 2019, two freezers, a 10,000 Liter water tower, and a slow sand filter, all powered by solar electricity, were successfully installed in Agbokpa, Ghana. Our mission is to conduct thorough follow-up on this new technology, a project that will enable important modifications based on community feedback and satisfaction. Furthermore, we plan to provide the people of Agbokpa with the education they need to understand the technology, the tools they need to maintain it, and the opportunity to make the changes they deem necessary.
