A mechanized borehole, valued at GH¢48,000, has been constructed and inaugurated for the Akrokyere Presbyterian Primary School in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti region. The establishment of the school dates back to September 1, 1955, when it was founded by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and the Akrokyere community.
The project, named Divine Intervention borehole, is spearheaded by Dr. Kelli Ducloux, an American philanthropist and the CEO of SOTA International Limited. This is the first of five boreholes that Dr. Ducloux intends to build in Ghana as part of her ambitious plan to construct 50 boreholes across the country.
The commissioning ceremony was attended by a host of dignitaries including Prof. Ahmed Agyapong, Provost of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST); Madam Sutherland Adwoa Dawn, CEO of Bridge-To-Africa Connection (B-TAC); Dr. Kelli Ducloux; and many other community representatives. Dr. Ducloux emphasized her mission to provide 50 water wells for deprived communities, emphasizing water's crucial role in sustaining life.
The Head of Supervision for the District Directorate of the Ghana Education Service, Nana Kwame Obeng Frimpong, urged a culture of maintenance to extend the lifespan of the borehole. The outgoing headteacher, Justice Sena Amafu, highlighted the previous struggle to access a dependable water source for the school, underscoring its importance for hygiene, sanitation, and overall school life.
The school's current headmaster, Nana Konama Ababio, presented Dr. Ducloux with a portrait as a token of appreciation, while the pupils entertained the audience with cultural dances and poetry readings.
The event was graced by several notable attendees such as Mr. Kwaku Twum, School Improvement and Support officer of the GES at Dadease Zone; Eric Gyamfi, PTA chairman; Madam Susana Amaniamping, Chairperson of the School Management Committee; and Mr. Asafo Adjei, a representative of the Kumawu MP, Hon. Ernest Yaw Anim.
