A number of communities and public institutions in the country including the security services, schools and nongovernmental organisations, have benefited from GHC80,000 investment in the water sector from Polytank Ghana. The investment by the company, a member of the Mohinani Group, was in the form of donation of water storage tanks, which is providing clean water to more than 10,000 Ghanaians.
