Ghanaians fetch hive water each day for their use.

The Asamang community's dependence on the water supply has not only enhanced community members' access to pure water, but it has also created a feeling of community among them. The hive borehole functions as a primary meeting place for the community, where people can catch up, share ideas, and debate local problems. In this video, I describe a time when members of the community congregated to appreciate the movement of town water.

Access to pure and secure water is difficult in many remote regions of Ghana. However, in Ghana's Asamang village, the construction of hive water supply has transformed many people's livelihoods.

According to the community chief, the hive borehole in Asamang town feeds hundreds of people each day. Women and children used to have to travel several kilometers to get water from a creek, which was frequently polluted and caused water-borne illnesses. Because of the distance, women and children had to spend hours every day collecting water, limiting their ability to attend a school or participate in other useful activities.

Access to pure water has become more easy and cheap since the construction of the hive borehole. People no longer have to travel great distances or pay high costs to get access to pure water.

Furthermore, the hive borehole has had a major effect on the resident's health and well-being. Water-borne illnesses such as cholera and typhoid fever, which were prevalent in the community, have been decreased as a result of the pure water. The borehole's construction also protects the water supply from pollution, ensuring that it is pure and secure for ingestion.

In the end, the hive borehole in this Ghanaian community has had a major effect on the livelihoods of many people. It has increased access to pure and secure water, decreased the prevalence of water-borne illnesses, and given women and children more time to do other things. The construction of such boreholes in remote regions can be an effective answer to Ghana's and other parts of the world's problem of access to pure water.
