Ghana Reads Initiative in collaboration with Community Water and Sanitation Agency have marked this year’s World Water Day with a short ceremony at Mount Zion Presby Church, Dodowa.
It was celebrated under the theme ‘Leveraging water for peace.’
The day is celebrated on March 22 to create awareness on the importance of freshwater and advocate the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
It also focuses on the challenges faced by water bodies and the actions taken to tackle global water crisis.
In an address, the Director of Education, Shai Osudoku District, Ms Harriet Lomotey said it was necessary to mark the day to create awareness on the need to take issues about freshwater seriously and the importance of conserving water bodies.
“We have to make sure that we access drinking water. It is our human right to access good drinking water and we must also use water as a tool to create a peaceful world for all,” she said.
She said in order to create a peaceful world for all, there was the need for a good driven approach such as working together to ensure that everyone had a safe and clean drinking water.
Ms Harriet stressed on the need to conserve water bodies in order to promote peace because the shortage or pollution of water can bring about conflicts.
The National Director of Ghana Read Initiative, Mr Albert Koomson explained that, the sole responsibility of the group was to imbibe in children the ability to read extensively and not only when they are about to write examinations.
He pointed out that ‘Galamsey’ (illegal mining) was a major activity destroying water bodies, making it difficult to access clean water for domestic use.
There were poetry recitals and cultural displays by the students of the Dodowa Presby ‘B’ Basic School.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
