High Church of Africa supports Agotime-Beh with water factory
The High Church of Africa (HiCA) last Sunday commissioned a GH¢500,000 water factory at Agotime-Beh, near Kpotoe in the Volta Region to serve communities in the Agotime-Ziope and Adaklu districts, Ho Municipality, Dzodze, and neighbouring Togo with portable water.
The facility which produces 10,000 litres of quality water daily from the underground has 12 workers.
“This is in line with the commitment of the church to respond to the basic needs of people in need,” said a HiCA spokesman, Senior Apostle Nutifafa Takyi.
He said the church had plans to expand the capacity of the water factory to recruit more workers and support residents to venture into other business areas.
“HiCA aims to propagate the word of God, win souls, and develop and empower members with skills and jobs,” he added.
In that regard, the senior apostle said recruitment of the workers at the factory would not be limited to members of the church alone.
Chapel project
Senior Apostle Takyi announced that HiCA was undertaking two chapel projects, one at Da Abra in Ho and the other at Agotime-Beh to support its outreach programmes.
He entreated the workers at the water factory to work with great zeal and enthusiasm and handle the facility with utmost care to ensure it benefited generations yet unborn.
Senior Apostle Takyi gave an assurance that HiCA was ready to work in partnership with the government, non-governmental organisations, traditional leaders and public-spirited individuals to empower communities with basic amenities and equip the people to secure decent livelihoods.
He said portable water had been a rare commodity in the Agotime-Ziope area for decades, adding the water factory, with the brand name, TAWA, would serve as a huge source of relief to the people.
The Chief War Lord of Agotime, Nene Akoto Sah VII, who graced the occasion, said the water factory bore ample testimony of the progress which could be realised from positive collaborations between the church and traditional authorities.
He added that the water factory offered prospects for economic development through job creation and skills training in the area.
