As I arrived to Potter’s Village, my first day meeting Daniel, he greeted me with one of his contagious smiles. He first asked for my name and was immediately drawn to my camera. I told him however I’ll be back a little later to take a few photos as the kids and I were getting to know each other. I didn’t want to alarm the ones who weren’t so photogenic. When I returned Daniel came up to me in his charming shirt, he told me it’s one of his best, I couldn’t help but smile as I can saw the excitement in his eyes.
Poultry Farming is probably one of the most lucrative agricultural ventures in the world when it is setup and managed properly. This aspect of livestock farming presents one of the finest opportunity for entrepreneurs to make good money within the shortest period of time possible due to the quick maturity of chickens. Agriculture is one of the major revenue generating business in Ghana for many years. However, the development of agriculture has been stagnant for a long time due to issues like lack of funds (support) for farmers, bad roads, expensive agric. materials etc. The current government in it’s attempt to making agriculture attractive to young people and Ghanaians in general has implemented a policy called “Planting for food.” Through this policy, the government will provide support for people who want to get into farming. The support includes giving farming tools like fertilizers, seeds and funds to registered commercial farmers. This & other entrepreneurial reasons are making people acquire lands or use bare lands around their houses for farming. Mr. Clottey is one of the people who have used part of his residential land for a poultry farm. . . 📷: Nana Osei - 2018 . . #dodowa #accra #ghana #africa #agriculture #poultryfarm #farming #funds #plantingforfood #policy #business #revenue #streetstyle #streetphotography #ashantiimmigrant #everydayafrica #dynamicafrica #accrawedey #land (at Kpone Bawalishi, Volta, Ghana)

Background: Eighty six per cent of Ghanaians have access to improved water sources. However, one in every four people living in rural communities in Ghana do not have access to a dependable and safe water source. When clean safe water sources are not available, households and communities rely on nearby unprotected streams, wells, rivers and springs where the quality and safety cannot be guaranteed. As a result, families and communities become susceptible to diarrhoea and other diseases that have a negative impact on community health and productivity. This paper investigates determinants of sources of domestic water used by households in southern rural Ghana Methods: Socio-demographic factors of 100,634 heads of households from 2 districts that form the catchment area of the Dodowa Health and Demographic Surveillance System from 2006 to 2013 were analyzed. The associations between the household's socio-demographic factors and source of water were explored using logistic regression. Results: Gender of household head, level of education, socioeconomic status, marital status, household size and occupation of household head are associated with the type of domestic water used by households. Conclusion: Socio-demographic factors of household heads are the strong determinants of the type of domestic water used by households in rural settings in Ghana.
