“My son Asamoah Gyan was here over ten years ago when he saw people – especially women and children trekking a long distance carrying buckets and gallons in search of water,” he recalled.

“He [Asamoah Gyan] asked me the reason why and I told him the community had problems with its water pumps and thus not all areas have water flowing through their taps despite the vast water resource here.

“He then told me that one day he will get this town a water pump and over ten years on we see this facility as the fulfilment to his pledge.”

The People of Wenchi in a joyous mood
Chief Executive Officer of the Asamoah Gyan Foundation, Samuel Anim Addo urged the committee to take good care of the new facility so it last long enough for them to reap maximum dividends.

“This is your property and therefore take very good care of it so that its benefit will reach generations upon generations,” he said.

“Water is one of the thematic areas of our foundation and we are happy to be doing this for the people of Wenchi.

“Asamoah Gyan is blessed and he wants to ensure that his blessings are extended to as many people as possible.”
