Tarkwa-Breman Ecopond and Campus
Along with the development of a girls’ school, village hospital, and assembly space, an ecopond will be created at the lowest point in the topography of the allotted site located west of the village. The ecopond, equipped with organisms that purify the water, will serve as a community swimming pool and source of drinking water. Development of the girls’ school occurs along the southern edge of the ecopond while the hospital sits north of the main road.
