Two communities and surrounding villages at Nso Nyame Ye and Bebia Ni Ha in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District will benefit from two boreholes constructed by Pioneers-Ghana and Brute Labs, California, from the United States of America.
The boreholes cost GH¢18.000.
Hitherto, the communities relied on stagnant water and ponds which caused water borne diseases.
Inaugurating the boreholes, Joshua To, Leader of Done Well Team, California expressed the hope that the wells would improve the socio-economic well-being of the people.
He commended Mr Fred Dimado, Executive Director of Pioneers-Ghana and the two communities who worked tirelessly to see the project through.
Pioneers-Ghana is the Ghana arm of Pioneers Africa, a non-governmental organisation, committed to serving rural communities.
Mr Kofi Opoku Tufuor, the Central Regional Director of the Community Water and Sanitation Project urged the community to maintain the boreholes by setting up committees to manage them.
Nana Odom Darkoh IV, Chief of Nso Nyame Ye on behalf of the communities thanked Brute Labs, California, USA and Pioneers-Ghana for providing them with safe drinking water which will improve their health.
