Residents of Kobre in the Pru East District of the Bono East Region now have access to clean and potable drinking water following the construction and handover of a mechanised borehole by On Point Foundation.
The project, aimed at addressing persistent water challenges in the community, was officially handed over at a ceremony attended by traditional leaders and residents.
Speaking to Adom News, Country Director of On Point Foundation, Anwar Abdul Wahab, said the initiative was inspired by Yahsimurat Kakayev, son of the late Gurbamyrat Kakayev, and undertaken in honour of his father.
He explained that the project reflects the Foundation’s commitment to improving lives through acts of service and humanity.
“This intervention goes beyond providing water. It is about restoring dignity, improving health, and enhancing the quality of life of the people of Kobre,” Mr Abdul Wahab said, adding that the Foundation will continue to support underserved communities.
The Benkuhene of Kojo Bofour, Nana Anane David, expressed gratitude to the Foundation, noting that previous attempts by the community to secure potable water had failed. He also assured that the community would adopt a strong maintenance culture to ensure the facility is properly managed and sustained.
The mechanised borehole is expected to reduce waterborne diseases, ease the burden on women and children, and improve living conditions in the community.
On Point Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting sustainable development projects across the country.
