The Jospong Group of Companies, with the help of the Hungarian Government, has secured a Facility for various Developmental projects in Ghana.

Together with its Hungarian Partners, Pureco, the Jospong group concluded discussions and signed a €20.2 million Euros contract that will see the construction of the Takoradi and Tamale Waste Water Treatment Plants which will treat wastewater from faecal waste into reusable water in these two cities. An additional € 100,000 Euros Grant was signed for the Zoomlion Foundation for the implementation of the Pureco Education Partnership Project (PEP Project)
