Citizens in Aduamoa , a farming community in the Kwahu East district are crying for portable water since the only source of water in the community is in a deplorable state. The only source of water is from a stream called "Subri", is unclean, and has spirogyra around and in their well which makes the residents in this community find it difficult to drink. They have to boil it before use for cooking and sometimes drinking.

Water is said to be life and one of the key essentials needs for every community. Access to potable water is central to improving sanitation and hygiene, progress in health and education, and in a general reduction of poverty, however, many rural communities lack access to clean water.

Mr Charles Asante, a committeeman of the community told the team about a project the honorable member of parliament Bryan Acheampong has decided to undertake, but it has been abandoned for some time now. The citizens said for many years, there had not been any potable water system constructed for them and had no option than to rely solely on the unclean stream for their water needs.

Making a passionate appeal for help disclosed that; “Pigs and other animals drink from this stream and we humans also drink from it because we do not have any other source of water, so, we fetch it and go and boil before we drink"

According to him, some boreholes were provided to the community some time ago, but they were not working and so the few who could afford purchase sachet water for their drinking needs whiles majority relied on the stream and appealed to the assembly to come to their aid.

Some citizens disclosed that they sometimes fell ill with diarrhoea and typhoid and usually experience itchy skin after bathing with the water but they had no choice but to use it since it was the only source of water.

A 51-year-old Madam Gifty Boama told the team and called on the Municipal Assembly to come to their aid. She wondered why a community that is in the same district as Nkwatia and Abetifi have this kind of issue, and the other towns are having very clean water.

During the dry seasons, the stream dries up and the inhabitants are left with no option than to wake up at midnight to the stream and collect the little they get, or go to an abandoned place beyond the cemetery which is a bit quite and unsafe to be at midnight and even at daytime.

The lack of potable water in the Aduamoa community represents some other communities in the region which had no portable drinking water deepening the word of the rural women and children who already have to struggle to be at par with others in the urban areas in terms of education and health needs.

Aduamoa is one of the principal towns in Kwahu. It is of the Benkum Division of the Kwahu Traditional Council; in fact, it is the next in command to Abene as the head of the Benkum Division. Nonetheless, Aduamoa is mostly referred to as the “Atadwekrom” in the whole Kwahu, due to the unique and original taste of the Tigernuts.

Historically, the people of Aduamoa are believed to be migrants of Akoten in Kumawu and Asanteman. They migrated in bits to Aduamoa due to the war that was going on in the Asante kingdom, population growth and trading activities.

However, the Asona royal family who has a crow as their totem, founded Aduamoa is considered a microcosm of the historical Kumawu Royal Kingdom which was based at Akoten.

After the invasion of the Kwamamu Kingdom by the Akyems and other coastal areas-combined forces, Nana Kwadwo Boama, together with his elders gathered the people and left.

The people, together with their leader Nana Kwadwo Boama first settled at Anankuro, an environ of Kumawu, then to Suna at Kumawu. Other natives of Suna joined Nana Kwadwo Boama and his entourage; those natives make up the Korontihene stool of the modern day Aduamoa.

After passing through all of these towns, they finally settled at Beposo in Fɛwiase which means their lives in the Asante kingdom has ended. One faithful day, a hunter named “Adu” went hunting; in his search for game, he saw a river lying under a very big “Odum” tree from a distance. When he got close, it was very clean in nature, he then went ahead to fill his wooden bottle with it. After hunting, he went straight to the chief’s palace where he told him about the river he saw;and the land beyond the river. He suggested to the Chief that due to their current situation, they should dominate the land, and make the place theirs. This sounded good in the ears of the chief, but he could not believe it entirely. He then said to Adu the hunter that if he send people to the place and they come back with a negative response, then he will be punished severely for playing with the people’s situation. But Adu insisted the chief send his men to the place. Finally, the chief did; and after the arrival of his men, they told him the exact things Adu told him. He was really happy to hear the news;because he will be able to fix the people’s problems. The chief then instructed the town crier to inform the people to come to the palace. When they heard the news after being to the palace, they got their belongings and journeyed to the new land. When they were leaving Fɛwiase, they named it Dadamu/Dadaso which means “OLD”. Immediately they got there, they saw everything for themselves, and they realized it was really true. So they said “Sɛɛ Adu kaa yɛ a, ɔmoa”, which means “Adu spoke about this, and it was true. He was not lying after all”. and that was how name Aduamoa came to stay.

People of Aduamoa are into agriculture, but what they are popularly known for is tigernut which is known by many as “Atadwe”. This fruit was brought to the town by a man called Ata. This man was also a hunter. He went for hunting one faithful day, but when he was returning from the bush, he saw these green plants and white flowers gathered around a stream. Out of curiosity, he decided to know what that plant was. This was no mere plant, it had a sweet scented fragrance. Initially, he thought it was just a normal flowering plant, but on the other side, he wonder why a plant in that form did not have any fruit on top of it. All the same, he planned to uproot some of the plants, and bring it home to plant.

As soon as he uprooted some, he saw some round objects under them. He then fetched water from the stream to wash and see what they were. After washing ,he got a stone to break it;in order to get out the Kernel. Unfortunately, he could not get any kernel from it. The only thing he saw in the kernel type fruit was white droplets. He tasted it, and it was really good. He uprooted as much as he could and brought it Aduamoah. He then introduced it to the people of the town,and after tasting, they were all surprised to see and taste a fruit like that. The people took some to their various homes. On their way home, Ata the hunter was the topic for discussion; and all they kept saying was “Ei Ata adwe yi deɛ,ɛdɛ na ɛyɛ anika nso” this statement simply means “Ata’s kernel is sweet and attractive”. And that was how we got the name “Atadwe(Ata-Adwe)”.
Aduamoa is ruled by the royals in the Asona clan. According to Aduamoa leadership, the current Aduamoahene Nana Ahea Tutu Brempong || is the fifth Chief of Aduamoa.

The Aduamoah Chief Nana Ahea Tutu ||, recounted that the vision of the construction of the Hospital was as a result of the the people in both Eastern and Ashanti region going through stress to get their eye checked, and visiting rehabs.

He said it was refreshing to see how the vision transforming to reflect a national agenda and therefore recommended the national leadership in the health sector buy into the vision which will go a long way to help not only Kwahuman but Ghana at large.

He said the Hospital will not only take of stress from the indigenes in Kwahu, but rather create employment for students who graduated as health practitioners; but have no jobs.

He called on the district to share in the town’s determination to embark on projects for national development. "The district should share the aspirations of patriotism in putting our nation high in terms of socio-economic development.”
“Thus, it will be of great pleasure for us not just to contribute to the construction of this hospital but also to be counted prominently as a Region who thought of the others and worked towards their goal. He emphasized.”

Nana Kwame Oduro Apenteng,the Korontihene of the Aduamoa traditional council said the chiefs had proposed a framework of the partnership between the township and the Aduamoa community both at home and in the Diaspora to raise funds for the construction of the Modern Hospital.

He expressed the optimism that the project would become a reality with the overwhelming support of the citizens in the township and in the diaspora.

The Aduamoaman mma in the diaspora pledged to support the project with a more light protection on behalf of the project with the help of some other stakeholders.

This project is estimated to cost 200 Million US Dollars. The facility is designed to include; Cardiology department , Ophthalmology department, Maternal care department and rehabilitation for amputees.

It would offer an opportunity for all the Kwahu townships, the Ashanti’s and other parts of the country.

The program was graced by the Tema agorofo mma who entertained the audience with the kente,adowa, etc. dance moves.
