Absa Bank Ghana Limited has commissioned boreholes in 11 regions to provide clean and reliable water in underserved communities.
The initiative is part of Absa's drive to be a Force for Good in the communities it serves and aligns with the bank’s corporate social responsibility strategy, which focuses on financial inclusion, education, skills development, social change, and environmental sustainability.
Speaking at the commissioning of a fully mechanised borehole in the Obom community, Dodowa, Managing Director of Absa Bank Ghana Ltd, Edward Nartey Botchway, said, “We believe in creating a positive and lasting impact in the communities we serve.

"Access to clean water is a fundamental necessity, and we are delighted to play our part in improving the livelihoods of the people of Obom and other parts of the country.”
He also highlighted Absa’s support for other projects, including small business development, education and skills training for youth, financial literacy, and vocational skills development.
The project was implemented in collaboration with Superb Water Services, a borehole construction company.
Local leaders and residents have welcomed the initiative.
Assembly Member for Agomeda Electoral Area, Dennis Adjannor Nartey, representing Linda Ocloo, MP for Shai-Osudoku Constituency and Greater Accra Regional Minister, commended Absa Bank Ghana for the intervention.
“This borehole project by Absa Bank is proof that through collaboration, we can address societal needs. Having access to potable water is a significant development for the Obom community,

"We appreciate Absa's support and look forward to more initiatives like this,” he said.
Daniel Kaiko, Assemblyman for the Obom Community, described the project as a game-changer.
“Our community has struggled with access to clean drinking water for years, and this borehole will significantly ease our challenges and provide much-needed relief to the residents of Obom. We are grateful to Absa Bank Ghana for this timely intervention,” he said.
The boreholes are being commissioned all over the country and are expected to ease the burden on families by providing dependable sources of potable water.
