Stanbic Bank Ghana on Monday inaugurated a borehole for the residents of Kpalsi, a farming community in the Sagnarigu Municipality of the Northern Regional.
The borehole, estimated at the cost of GH¢28,000.00, is meant to relieve the people of their age-long water crises.
At a short ceremony to inaugurate the facility, Mr Mubarak Abdulai, a representative of the Stanbic Bank Ghana, said a part of the bank's resources for social corporate and social responsibility had been earmarked to provide good drinking water for the people of Kpalsi and its surrounding communities.
He stated that, it was to give the people a year-round water supply in order to reduce hours they used in searching for water in the area. "It is a study carried out by our team in the bank in communities in the Sagnarigu Municipality on their challenges with regard to water and they came out with Kpalsi community as being the community facing the worst water crises in the area, hence its earliest support." he added Mr Abdulai further stated that the lack of good drinking water in the area was seriously affecting the livelihoods of the residents.
