2Kings 2:19 – And the men of the city said unto Elisha.
Behold I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my Lord seeth but the WATER is naught and the ground barren. And he said bring me a new cruise, and put salt therein and they brought it to him.
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters and cast the salt in there, and said thus saith the Lord, I have HEALED these water, there shall not be from then a any more death or barren land.
As I read this verses in the Bible I see the same problem in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The land is dried and barren the water bodies in the region is not good for drinking because it is contaminated with guinea worms, oncho and other health devastative bacterial.
The terrible flooding of last year left over 4,000 hand dug wells and bole hole which was serving as a source of drinking water and for farming for the people was also contaminated with rotten weeds and flooded dirty water.
With this situation the economical situation of the Region worsened poverty rate arosed to 150%. To relieve the people of this suffering Africa Assistance Plan intervened by sending food clothings medicines to help the people.
Africa Assistance Plan also tackled the water problem. We set a target to rehabilitate one thousand of the serious affected bole holes and handing wells. By God’s Grace and with the help from our donors, particularly Living Water International based in
FUTURE PLANS - OPERATION SAVE LIVES UPPER EAST REGION
On the water front AAP target is to rehabilitate the remaining 945 well in the seriously affected areas. This wells will be fixed with new pumps. This is an urgent need as the wells are going to be move contaminated in these forth coming heavy rain falls which will affect the health of the people particularly children.
I humbly appealing to you to prayerfully consider to support this program to help bring the love of Jesus Christ to this people.
