The Presbyterian Relief Services and Development (PRS&D), in collaboration with the Ghana Outlook, a United Kingdom-based Non-Governmental Organisation, has commissioned two mechanised boreholes for the people of Ahiagbekope and Gblidemekope in the Akatsi South and North Districts of the Volta Region.
The two farming communities were facing acute water challenges over the years compelling women and children to travel far in search of water.
The boreholes, worth GHC48,000 would help solve the water supply challenges of the people and neighbouring communities, especially school children and women who shared streams and river bodies with cattle and other animals.
Mr Williams Jesse Mensah, the Representative of Ghana Outlook, speaking at the commissioning, said the project would promote and sustain hand hygiene in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
