Saltpond(C/R), Aug 11, GNA – The Mfantseman-Saltpond Development Alliance (MSDA), has launched its first Saltpond homecoming with a call on all natives, particularly the youth to unite for sustainable development.
The weeklong homecoming with packed activities is on the theme: “Reuniting our Roots, Reimagining the Future,” and will close with a grand durbar on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
Some activities include; heritage tour, clean-up campaigns, youth competitions, fancy dress carnival, food fairs, health screenings, among others.
It is aimed at re-building, connecting and raising the youth with pride and courage for a better future and for generation yet unborn.
Dubbed the “SaltpondFest 2025,” the festival will be marked with a legacy project of providing a sustainable water system for the Saltpond Municipality Hospital.
According to the Founder and President of MSDA, Mr Ernest De-Graft Egyir the festival was not just a celebration but a moment to re-unite the people home and abroad, promote tourism, showcase local business and nurture young talents to leave a legacy for the community.
He said it was imperative to take a step as natives to move their heritage to progress as their history alone would not feed the children, employ the youth and solve the challenges facing them as a community.
MSDA has been formed to empower the people of Mfantseman and Saltpond through cultural celebrations, civic unity, and sustainable development through building a future grounded in identity, led by the community and inspired by progress.
The alliance was born from the vision that the future of Mfantseman should be shaped by the hands of its own people, grounded by their identity and driven by the belief that it could transform the Municipality.
