The village has a population of around 2,500 people, primarily consisting of the Mossi ethnic group. The Mossi are known for their agricultural skills and have a strong cultural identity, with their own language, traditions, and customs. The village is also home to a small number of other ethnic groups, including the Fulani and the Gurunsi, who contribute to the cultural diversity of Kassita.
The economy of Kassita is largely dependent on agriculture, with a significant portion of the population engaged in farming activities. The village also has a few small-scale businesses, including a few shops and a small market where local produce is sold. The village has a primary school, which provides basic education to the children of Kassita. The school is staffed by a few local teachers and is supported by the Ghana Education Service.
Kassita is also known for its traditional architecture, with houses made of mud and thatch, which are characteristic of the Mossi people. The village has a few traditional festivals and ceremonies, which are celebrated with great enthusiasm by the locals. The most important festival is the Homowo, which is a harvest festival celebrated at the end of the rainy season.
Despite its rural setting, Kassita is connected to the outside world through a network of dirt roads and tracks. The village is served by a few basic health facilities, including a community-based health planning and services (CHPS) compound, which provides basic healthcare services to the villagers. The village is also connected to the national electricity grid, which has improved access to electricity in recent years.
In recent years, there have been efforts to improve the infrastructure and services in Kassita, including the construction of new roads and the expansion of the primary school. These efforts are part of a broader government initiative to improve the living conditions and economic opportunities for rural communities in Ghana. However, challenges such as poverty, limited access to education and healthcare, and environmental degradation continue to affect the village.
