In Ghana, our water bodies, farmlands, and forests are being destroyed by illegal mining. In galamsey prone areas, the water is so heavily contaminated that water treatment plants are shutting down because they can no longer filter it. As a result, people living in these communities are left with no choice but to drink contaminated water. #StopGalamseyNow

Despite efforts to combat illegal gold mining on and along our water bodies, a disturbing video has surfaced showing galamsey operators actively using dredging machines to extract sediment from the Bonsa River. The river, which once served the entire Tarkwa area, has now been completely destroyed, leaving residents without access to potable water for domestic use.
