The problem of high fluoride contamination is an endemic one in the whole of Bongo district as a result of the bedrock formation. This has undoubtedly attracted many organizations to the area in search of a more sustainable solution to the problem due to the fact that almost every person from Bongo who was born and bred there is infected with dental flourosis as a result of drinking water containing high concentration of fluoride. The seriousness of the problem is brought to bare when the people from the district mingle with other people from other regions. Their confidence level is eroded due to the unpleasant nature of the teeth which is discoloured. Apart from affecting their confidence level, children of school going age who cannot stand the ridicule from their peers drop out of school and as such the development is halted, no wonder poverty is so endemic in the area. Many organizations and interest groups have tried several ways of dealing with the problem with some sinking boreholes only to cap them after test reveal high fluoride contamination. Meanwhile most of the local people depend mainly on hand dug wells and do not really mind about the fluoride concentration, only that they report of not too pleasant taste of the water even though it looks very clean. The people seem to know the effect of drinking water from their wells but have no other alternative to look up to. Children under the age of 5 years are the most vulnerable. The solar water facility is a technology that makes use of the sun’s radiation to generate steam from liquid water and subsequently condenses the steam into pure, distilled water. The solar water distiller purifies water by separating water from all contaminants including fluorides, salts, heavy metals, bacteria, arsenic, and nitrates in the impure water. CEESD with support from Vodafone Ghana through its world of difference programme installed and commissioned two models of solar water purifiers that provides 25 litres per day of clean water for kindergarten pupils at Anaafo Biisi primary school to serve about 120 pupils. Several tests conducted on the purified water by Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Civil Engineering Water and Sanitation Laboratory and the Ghana Water Company Laboratory all in Kumasi indicated a significant drop in fluoride contamination from an initial high concentration of 20.6 ppm in the untreated water to 0.75 ppm in the treated water which is far lower than the WHO accepted limited limit of 1.5 pmm. At the commissioning of the two facilities, the Chief of Anaafo Biisi, Naba Anyanebah Akolgo Saabo II was full of praise for CEESD and went further to appeal for more of such units to be installed in the district since this was one of their major problems. CEESD hopes to build on the success of this initial project to install 100 more units in about 120 selected households and two basic schools in the six communities that make up Anaafo Biisi. In selecting beneficiary households, priority would be given to those with relatively high number of children under 5 years old. Source: www.ceesdghana.org
