Speaking to the students and staff of the schools, Magnus Rex Danquah II, co-founder of the 4Change Initiative stressed on the need to create awareness about the millions of individuals in countries all over the world who have no access to water.
He further stated that Ghana, like most countries in Africa and parts of Asia, has communities that lack access to clean water, and therefore urged corporate institutions to support such communities in every way possible.

Magnus Rex Danquah II said, “The 4Change Initiative seeks to make a change in the lives of individuals and communities within Ghana.
