Provision of Hand Water Filters For School Children of St. Arnold Janssen School

The provision of hand water filters for the school children of St. Arnold Janssen School in New Longoro marks a significant step toward improving the health and well-being of pupils within the community. This vital initiative, generously sponsored by Hand-in-Hand Friends for Ghana in collaboration with Kindermissionswerk, Germany, seeks to ensure that children have consistent access to safe and clean drinking water during school hours.

By addressing one of the most fundamental health needs, the project aims to reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases and promote better hygiene practices among the students. The introduction of the filters also aligns with ongoing efforts to enhance the overall learning environment, as access to clean water contributes to improved concentration, attendance, and academic performance.

The management, staff, and pupils of St. Arnold Janssen School have expressed deep gratitude to the sponsors for their benevolence and commitment to supporting the welfare and education of Ghanaian children. This partnership serves as a beacon of hope and an inspiring example of international collaboration for sustainable community development.
