Produktbeschreibung
Prior to boreholes provision in the Atebubu and Afram Plains Districts of Ghana, the major cause of poverty was identified as lack of potable water. Poor health was common due to recurring infestation with water borne/related diseases contracted from patronage of surface water sources. These diseases incapacitated both adults and children resulting in ill-health.

Having examined the extent to which boreholes provided in the two Districts facilitated poverty reduction, the findings, which should be useful to development practitioners, policy makers, the academia, and rural populations, validates positive transformational development experiences attained with boreholes serving as a progressive and sustained poverty reduction platform.
