Although often perceived to be pretty ordinary, water can be termed as the most remarkable substance, from washing to cooking with it. We are about two-thirds water and require water to live.
Life as we know it could not have evolved without water and dies without it. Droughts cause famines and floods cause death and disease. Because of its clear importance, water is the most studied material on earth.
Aquavitaal Ghana, a company which specializes in providing clean, safe, and sustainable water solutions using advanced Dutch technology is expanding investment in urban water infrastructure with the rollout of a 24-hour water kiosk at the Amasaman Market.
The project is to fundamentally support local economic activities in Amasaman and its surrounding areas and aligns with the company’s mission to empower communities in Ghana by ensuring access to purified drinking water powered by solar energy,
The project, located in the busy Pokuase–Amasaman enclave in Accra, is expected to ease water access challenges for traders and residents, as demand for reliable supply continues to grow alongside rapid urbanisation.
Delivering the keynote address at the groundbreaking ceremony, Country Director of Aquavitaal Ghana, Nana Michaels Dzikunu, stressed the broader economic and social importance of water access.
“We are laying the foundation for a commitment that access to clean, safe, purified water must be reliable, affordable, and within reach for every community,” he stated.
The facility, developed with Dutch expertise and built to international standards, is designed to provide a continuous 24-hour supply of purified water, an intervention expected to improve sanitation, reduce health risks, and lower operational costs for businesses operating within the market.
Beyond access, the project is also positioned as a livelihood enabler, with anticipated job creation and a cleaner trading environment expected to boost productivity within one of Accra’s key commercial hubs.
The initiative is being driven by the Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Edith Awuku, whose leadership the company says is focused on scaling sustainable water solutions across underserved communities.
Aquavitaal Ghana says the project is being delivered in collaboration with traditional authorities, government institutions, and market leaders-partnerships it describes as critical to ensuring long-term impact and sustainability.
The move reflects a growing role of private sector participation in closing Ghana’s water access gap, with scalable models like water kiosks increasingly seen as viable solutions to urban service delivery challenges.
