GOIL PLC in partnership with the Soroptimists Club of Accra, has inaugurated three borehole projects in the Ekumfi District of the Central Region.
The borehole water projects, connected with overhead tanks and pipes were constructed for the pupils of the Egyankwaa Owuwa Basic School, the Eyisam Basic School and the Ekumfi Twa Community.
The borehole facilities for the schools will enable the over 400 pupils and teachers of the two schools to access potable water while the Ekumfi Twa community will benefit from easy access to clean water even during the dry season.
At a ceremony to hand over one of the borehole facilities at Ekumfi Egyankwa in the Ekumfi District of the Central region, the Public Relations Manager of GOIL PLC, Robert Kyere explained that the company is committed to supporting life-changing projects such as the provision of water to deprived communities.

Speaking at the ceremony, the District Chief Executive for Ekumfi, Ebenezer Kwesi Monney expressed appreciation to GOIL and Soroptimist Ghana for the construction of the boreholes in the communities indicating the projects would positively impact on the lives of the people and particularly improve sanitation delivery in the beneficiary communities.
