Introduction

Ghana has a long History of a large expanding population and non-sufficient clean and safe water source over the majority of the country. This causes issues with a number of different factors such as, economics, development, education, and inequality of the sexes as well as the obvious issues of health and sanitation. The worst effected parts of the country are the smaller villages. Many of the areas access their water from holes dug out of the ground to access the groundwater. These boreholes are unprotected, uncovered, accessed by animals and very susceptible to pollution and disease.

We went to the village of Aurigo in Ghana to gain the perspectives of the local people and visitors to the area on the situation.
