BOREHOLES FOR 2 CENTRAL REGION COMMUNITIES (PAGE 20)

TWO communities, Nso Nyame Ye and Bebia Ni Ha in the Abura-Asebu-Kuamankese District of the Central Region, have benefited from two boreholes.
Pioneers-Ghana and Brute Labs, California, USA financed the boreholes at a cost of GH¢18,000.
Before the drilling of the boreholes, the communities were relying on stagnant water and ponds which cause water-borne diseases for their domestic purposes.
Inaugurating the boreholes, the Leader of California-based Done Well Team, Mr Joshua To, expressed the hope that the wells would improve the socio-economic well-being of the people.
He commended Mr Fred Dimado, the Executive Director of Pioneers-Ghana and the two communities that worked tirelessly to see the project through.
Pioneers-Ghana is the Ghanaian branch of Pioneers Africa, a non-governmental organisation.
The Central Regional Director of the Community Water and Sanitation Project, Mr Kofi Opoku Tufuor, urged the communities to maintain the boreholes by setting up committees to manage them.
The Chief of Nso Nyame Ye, Nana Odom Darkoh IV, on behalf of the beneficiary communities, thanked Brute Labs, California, and Pioneers-Ghana for providing them with safe drinking water, which would improve their health.
