As part of the celebrations marking Promasidor Ghana’s (PGH) 25th anniversary, its popular dairy brand, Cowbell and culinary brand, Onga handed over nine borehole facilities to selected communities in the Northern, Upper East, Volta, Eastern and Oti regions.
PGH handed over a mechanized borehole to Tolon Senior High School in the Northern Region, with eight communities in Kayera, Praprabida, and Akim Awisa in the Eastern Region; Adoman, Yaborae and Gyanekrom in Oti Region, Abutia-Kloe in the Volta Region and Kasongo-Kubogo in Upper East receiving boreholes fitted with hand pumps.
The water supply project is part of the Promasidor Community Impact Drive (PCID), which aims to support sustainable projects that foster social change, enhance the quality of life, and address pressing societal needs, especially for vulnerable groups.
Promasidor’s Commercial Director (CD), Abiodun Ayodeji, highlighted the manufacturing giant’s commitment to providing access to clean water to contribute to the sustained well-being of every Ghanaian society and to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6: Availability and Sustainable Management of Water and Sanitation for All.
“From 2019 till date, we have supported more than 33 communities in Ghana with access to potable water. As a caring company dedicated to providing healthy and quality dairy products like Cowbell and Twisco for breakfast, Onga products in every Ghanaian dish, and Yumvita for our young ones, we are passionate about alleviating the unsafe drinking water challenges faced by communities. These challenges can significantly impact the health, education, socio-economic status, and general wellbeing of community members, especially women and children,” Mr. Ayodeji stated.
