The Parah Foundation, the humanitarian and missions arm of Remi Gharbin Ministries, has commissioned a GH¢60,000 mechanised water project to provide clean and reliable water to more than 300 families in Adeiso-Domeabra in the Eastern Region.

The project, commissioned on Saturday, August 15, 2026, serves residents of the Oppong, Musa, Odeng and surrounding communities.

It comprises a mechanised borehole, electric pumping system, a 10,000-litre overhead storage tank and five water collection pipelines located at strategic points within the beneficiary communities.

Construction began in early July and was completed within one month.

The project is expected to ease longstanding difficulties faced by residents who previously relied on unreliable water sources, including streams, for their household needs.

During the dry season, residents often had to travel long distances in search of water, placing an additional burden on women and children and affecting their daily activities.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the Founder of Remi Gharbin Ministries, Rev. Remi Gharbin, said the project formed part of the Foundation's efforts to address practical challenges facing underserved communities.

“Today, we are not simply commissioning a water project; we are commissioning hope. Clean water is one of God’s greatest gifts, and every family deserves access to it,” he said.

He said the Foundation would continue to combine its Christian mission with interventions aimed at improving the living conditions of communities.

Assembly member welcomes project

The Assembly Member for the area, Hon. Kofi Owusu, expressed appreciation to the Parah Foundation and Remi Gharbin Ministries for addressing what he described as one of the community's major needs.

“On behalf of the people of this community, we express our deepest appreciation to Parah Foundation and Remi Gharbin Ministries. This project answers one of our greatest needs and will positively impact generations to come,” he said.

He added that the intervention would complement efforts to improve the welfare of residents.

A community representative also described access to water as a longstanding challenge that had now been addressed.

“For many years, our greatest challenge was water. Today, that challenge has been addressed. This facility brings relief to every household and gives our children and families a healthier future,” the representative said.

A beneficiary said the facility would particularly ease the burden on women and children who previously had to travel in search of water.

“Today, clean water is available in our community. This project has made life easier for us, especially for our women and children,” the beneficiary said.

Community management committee

To help sustain the facility, a Community Water Management Committee has been established to oversee its operation, maintenance and responsible use.

The Foundation said the community-led management structure was intended to protect the infrastructure and ensure that it continues to serve residents over the long term.

The Adeiso-Domeabra project is part of the Parah Foundation's community development initiatives. The Foundation said it had previously undertaken water projects at Gomoa Oguaa and Tinkong Tenurase.

The project was executed by Interfort Company Limited, which the Foundation said completed the mechanised borehole system within the planned one-month period.

The Foundation also expressed appreciation to its partners, donors, volunteers, engineers, contractors and community leaders whose support contributed to the project.

Parah Foundation said it would continue to focus on interventions in areas including clean water, healthcare, education, humanitarian relief and community empowerment.
