Water harvesting project- Kedzi ( Anlo Beach Resort) in the Shama District - WR

Background of Project
The Christian Rural Aid Network (CRAN), with support from Ghanaman CRG Trust Fund, undertook a water harvesting project for the CRAN Methodist School and its environs. This was to provide potable water to the students and teachers of the school as well as the community who initially resorted to salt water.

Status of the Project
The Monitoring Team met Togbey Tekpele Garikor I, the chief of Kedzi community and the Headmaster of the school. They gave account about the project initiation and the successful completion of the project about four (4) years ago. The project serves water needs to both the school and some sections of the community. The Team also observed that the community had procured a huge water tank to pump the water directly from the reservoir into the tank to provide easy access of water to the beneficiaries. However, the challenge is that though the school has generator which could have easily powered the machine to serve that purpose, the school does not have the pumping machine. The school had severally appealed to the District Assembly to come to their aid to procure a pumping machine but to no avail.

Acknowledgement
The Team observed that the project stakeholders did not acknowledge the support received from the Ghanaman  Trust Fund for the successful completion of the project. The Team advised the Headmaster to liaise with the other stakeholders to accordingly acknowledge such support.

Quantum of Amount of Contribution Used for the Project
The Monitoring Team learnt from the chief of the community and the Headmaster of the school that, to the best of their knowledge they were informed by  the project coordinator  that an amount of GHC10,000 was donated by the Ghanaman Trust Fund. But it would be recalled that in 2014, CRAN was given a grant of GH¢20,000 to complete the project.
