Free The Citizens
About Us
Free The Citizens is a grassroots initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the devastating effects of galamsey (illegal mining) on Ghana's water bodies and environment. Our mission is to educate, advocate, and mobilize citizens to take action against this pressing issue.
The Galamsey Crisis
Galamsey operations are destroying Ghana's water bodies, making them unsafe for drinking and other essential uses. This illegal mining activity poses a severe threat to public health, agriculture, and the overall ecosystem.
Impact on Water Resources
The pollution caused by galamsey has rendered many water bodies in Ghana unusable. Rivers and streams that once provided clean water for communities are now contaminated with harmful chemicals and sediment.
Pharmaceutical Industry Concerns
The Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana (PSG) has raised alarms that the country may soon need to import water to produce local pharmaceutical medicines. This highlights the far-reaching consequences of galamsey on various sectors of the economy.
