A non-governmental organisation, World Vision has set up a new office in Agortime Ziope in the Volta Region.

Technical Program Manager of World Vision, Salomey Yeboah says the new office has commenced programs to teach children how to read and write.

According to her, the intervention is to ensure that standard of education is raised within the locality.

Madam Salomey Yeboah noted that there have been engagement when it comes to sponsoring educational programmes for the district as well as issues relating to sanitation and water.

"The vision and aims of World Vision is to make sure that water and sanitation issues in communities are worked on by the team thereby bringing relief to the people especially the vulnerable," she said after the CONIWAS conference. 

She said in dealing with water issues, the World Vision in Agortime Ziope has provided boreholes to communities faced with water crisis.

She said the plan of World Vision is to scale up WASH interventions for the district with the collaboration of the assembly and other WASH sector players to bring relief to the people.
