In Tawiahkrom the main water supply is an open well where women pull up water in buckets. For most women it means an uphill walk back home carrying water. Men also collect water and carry it home on the back of bicycles.
Sanitation has failed and men and women share the same public latrine. In Tawiahkrom there is no water and sanitation management team.
Kyei Fordjour, spokesman for the chief, confirms that water shortages had been acute for almost 30 years.
