The water kiosks were inaugurated last Wednesday in commemoration of World Water Day. 

They would serve the water needs of the two communities and solve the problem of children struggling for water before they go to school.

According to the founder of Project Maji, Mr Sunil Lalvani, his outfit had a similar facility at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) and was working to have all its sites with the solar facility independently audited in order to authenticate their impact.

He said the company was anxious to assist deprived communities in the country with good drinking water.

“Project Maji has been serving rural communities in need of water since 2015 and the two facilities provided at Gaymtutu and Otuaplem bring to six the number so far installed.

"We have been in the business for two years now and believe that rural communities are having easy access to good drinking water," Mr Lalvani said.

He said Project Maji was in discussions with several Ghanaian and international corporations and the Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation to assist it to spread the facility countrywide.

Mr Lalvani said the company had also recently installed its first solar-powered water kiosk facility in Kenya, marking the beginning of their expansion into other African countries.
