The coastal community of Axim, Ghana consists of approximately 33,000 people during the peak fishing season. The poorest part of this community doesn’t have clean drinking water and is using hand-dug wells. Because the area is close to sea level, digging deeper wells isn’t possible. A team of six volunteers with Engineers Without Borders will be traveling to Ghana to evaluate the nature of the existing water supply and distribution system this fall to determine if a future project is possible.
