MOONLITE 102.3 ( Sunyani )writes:
There was a time when River Tano in Sunyani ran clear like glass under the morning sun. Children would gather by its banks, laughing as they watched the water move gently like it had all the time in the world. People spoke of days when the river gave freely— clean water and life itself. It was not just a river; it was a blessing that shaped homes, farming, and memories.
But now, the story feels different.
River Tano is struggling to breathe. What once flowed with pride now carries the weight of neglect. The banks are no longer as pure as they used to be, and the water tells a silent story of pollution, carelessness, and fading responsibility. Yet, even in its pain, the river still moves—still trying, still hoping.
It is easy to look away, to say “this is how things are now.” But River Tano is not just water passing through Sunyani. It is heritage. It is survival. It is the future of communities that depend on it more than they realize.
We cannot wait until it becomes a memory before we act.
Save River Tano now—not tomorrow, not later. Because when a river dies, it is not only water we lose, but a part of ourselves.
