In addition to the water project, the two year groups also donated football and jerseys to the school to promote sports and encourage student participation in extracurricular activities.
Ms Adelade Kabukie Ocansey, the Headmistress of Ada SHS, told the Ghana News Agency that the project formed part of broader alumni efforts to support their alma mater and create a conducive learning environment.

She noted that irregular water supply over the years had negatively impacted sanitation, domestic activities, and academic work.
She acknowledged other year groups who had also contributed to various development initiatives in the school and expressed gratitude for their continued commitment.

Ms Ocansey added that although the Ghana Water Limited currently assisted with water supply, the new project would serve as a dependable alternative whenever the regular taps were closed.

Dr Albert Allottey, representing the 1985-year group, recounted how some students had in the past lost their lives in the Volta River while attempting to fetch water, causing deep distress to families and the school community.
He added that some students exploited the water crisis as an opportunity to leave campus under the guise of searching for water.

“This project is aimed at preventing such tragedies and providing a lasting solution to the school’s water challenges,” Dr Allottey said.

Mr Noah Marcus Agyemang, an alumnus, appealed to other alumni year groups to continue supporting the school, not only financially but also by motivating students and participating actively in developmental initiatives.
Mr Agyemang added that the sports items donated would complement efforts to foster teamwork, nurture talents, and enhance overall student welfare.

The engineers of Vaultex Company, and contractors for the project, told the Ghana News Agency that the three phases would involve engineering works, infrastructure development, and final connection to the school’s main water system, respectively.
They explained that each stage would be supervised by technical experts to ensure safety, durability, and efficiency, and confirmed that funding and logistics for the first phase had already been secured to ensure timely execution.

The school authorities commended the 1985- and 2003-year groups for what they described as a timely and life-changing intervention, expressing confidence that the project would significantly improve the welfare and position of students of the Ada SHS, among the few institutions in the area with a secured and independent water source.
