In the heart of Kpamfaa, a farming community located within the Wechiau Electoral Area of the Wa West District, women are facing a pressing dilemma as they resort to charcoal burning to make ends meet. This distressing shift in livelihood underscores the community’s struggle following the end of the farming season, exacerbated by a lack of reliable water sources.

With the absence of a dam in Kpamfaa, residents find themselves grappling with limited options for sustainable income. Livestock must journey to the Black Volta River in search of water, highlighting the community’s dire situation. The repercussions extend beyond just water scarcity; they threaten the very fabric of the community’s economy and health.

Madam Bookpie Dema, a resident and vocal advocate for community needs, expressed her concerns during an interview with Info Radio. “If only we had a dam, we could engage in irrigation farming and secure our livelihoods,” she lamented, emphasizing the missed opportunities for agricultural advancement that could alleviate poverty.
