Emmanuel Kojo Jones-Mensah, a benevolent Ghanaian man has led his charity organization, the KJM Foundation, to bless the lives of 1,000 people in an Eastern Region village called Dawatrim.

Edward Asare, a popular Ghanaian blogger who hails from the area and drew the attention of the foundation, reports that the residents used to bath and drink the same water with animals for years.

"The main source of water for residents of the village was a stream which has since dried up and a hand-dug well which has receded and is polluted with foreign materials, making it unsafe for use," he said.
