RUPFA Supports Water Projects In 3 VR Communities
Rural Urban Partnership for Africa (RUPFA), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), is spending GH¢12,000 for the laying of pipes for the provision of potable water in three communities near Aveyime-Battor in the Volta Region.
The communities include Megbedrakofe, Abukofe and Evukofe, near Aveyime in the North-Tongu District of the Volta Region.
Mr. Richard Ashaley, Executive Director of Rural Urban Partnership for Africa, (RUPFA), said an amount of 2,500 Ghana cedis out of the Twelve Thousand Ghana Cedis would be used for operational activities, whilst GH¢7,500 would used for the project lost and GH¢2,000 for the administration expenses.
He said, the NGO is also planning to build a dam for the people of Mafi and classroom blocks and a dam to provide water for the people of Atseive, all in North-Tongu.
The Executive Director said, RUPFA is currently operating in almost all the regions, Upper East region, Upper West regions and the Northern region.
In another development, Mr. Ashaley said, the NGO is also poised to assist the infrastructure development of Benin Republic through the Millennium Development Goal’s (MDG’s).
According to him, RUPFA is putting up school buildings and other necessary infrastructure for the people of Benin.
Mr. Ashaley disclosed these when he paid a working visit with his team to Ghana, last week with the hope strengthening the NGO’s in the country and to negotiate development projects in Ghana.
He said, some of the provincial capitals where development operations would take place are Dogbo Tota, Abomey, Savalou and Natitingou, Kandi Towns and Villages, all in Benin.
He said, its major activities would begin at Bohicon, Bori, Nadoli, Wenon and Gounorou, among other villages.
The Executive Director said the NGO first intension was to get portable water for these villages, which are in a dying of this social amenity and has become a major challenge of the people.
He added that, development projects in Ghana would also start very soon.
According to him their survey conducted showed that environmental sanitation and good drinking water posed serious problems in some of the areas, so the construction of bore-holes and other sources of potable drinking water would be provided to them with the support of donor agencies.
Touching on education, the Executive Director said RUPFA would construct school buildings and provide community libraries to enhance education, raise learning and education in general in some of the deprived towns and villages in Benin.
