Kasseh-Ada, March 23, GNA – The Church of Pentecost, Kasseh Central and English Assemblies, has organised a clean-up exercise at the Kasseh Model Health Centre as part of its annual environmental sanitation campaign.
The exercise brought together members of the Church who weeded, cleared, and swept the compound of the facility to improve sanitation.
Speaking with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Pastor George Ackah Watson, the District Pastor, said the initiative formed part of the Church’s broader vision of contributing to national development.
“As a Church, we are not only mandated to preach and sing in our auditoriums and outreaches but also to contribute meaningfully to social issues that promote the development of society,” he said.
He explained that the Church places great importance on environmental cleanliness, noting that the scriptures in Genesis 2:15 instructed humans to take care of the earth.
According to him, the exercise was part of the Church’s social responsibility and its commitment to promoting healthy living conditions within communities.
Pastor Watson added that the church remains ready to support initiatives that improve the wellbeing of society.
Mr Samuel Lawerh Kabutey, an elder of the Church, urged residents to take active interest in community development and report activities that could negatively affect the environment.
“Even during clean-up exercises, some people remain in their shops and do not participate. This attitude does not help in building a clean and healthy community,” he said.
He also called on community leaders and members to support efforts to guide the youth away from drug abuse and other social vices, noting that such issues were becoming prevalent among young people.
The Ghana News Agency observed that the Kasseh Model Health Centre requires renovation and sustained sanitation efforts to maintain a conducive environment for healthcare delivery.
