The Obuasi Diocese of the Methodist Church has inaugurated a GH�126,800 pure water project aimed at improving its finances and offering employment to the youth.
The idea of going into sachet water business was mooted at the Church�s 13th annual synod in April 2010 as part of diversifying its income-generation activities.
The new pure water known as �1000 Tongues� is said to offer new taste and quality to the booming sachet water business in the Municipality.
�This water is not an ordinary pure water but a healing water�, the Right Reverend S. R. Bosomtwe-Ayensu, the Bishop of the Diocese said when inaugurating the project.
He asked Church members to help sustain the project and not to sit down for it to become a �9-day wonder� commercial entity.
Bishop Bosomtwe-Ayensu said: �The project is not mine but the church�s business and therefore it behooves all of us to make it a profitable venture�.
The Methodist clergy charged the workers to be dedicated and truthful to enable the Church to derive the right dividend to encourage further expansion of the project.
�We have to expand this project and embark on new projects that will mean producing bottled mineral water in the near future�, he said.
Bishop Bosomtwe-Ayensu commended all those whose efforts and support brought the project to fruition.
