Staheli & Gibson Water Well
Akyem-Akropong
In Akyem-Akropong, Ghana, many of the public wells dry up during the dry season. The wells are hand-dug and too shallow to be free of contaminants. Many families in Akyem-Akropong fetch from other water sources such as creeks or ponds. In the picture to the left, local children show where their families retrieve water at a fish farming pond.
