The residents of Kantu community in the Wa West District say inadequate potable water sources in the area have a grave toll on their socio-economic lives, as productive hours are spent searching for water for domestic use.
According to them, women and girls in the community bear the brunt of the water access challenge since they are responsible for providing water for their families.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at the community, Ms.
Monica Yiriwele, a resident, said the situation adversely affected women's economic activities and the education of girls in the community.
