Qatar Charity (QC) has inaugurated 49 solar-powered borewells in Ghana for the benefit of over 34,300 people.
These boreholes are located in various areas where the need for drinking water is most acute. This is part of QC’s continued implementation of the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects in the country.
The Ghanaian Member of Parliament and community leader Abdul Latif Dan, described QC's interventions in the WASH sector as vital and unprecedented both in terms of quantity and quality.
Amidst the overwhelming joy of the people from Bulenga located in the Upper West region of Ghana, the operation of the well project implemented by QC has commenced, as part of its solution to the water problem in the area through solar panels and sustainable and climate-resistant pumps. This experience was considered unique by several engineers in the area.
The residents of Bulenga have described the project as the most significant water intervention the village has ever seen. Abdullah Mohamed Chago, a local official, expressed gratitude to the benevolent people in Qatar and explained that lack of access to clean drinking water was a major issue for the entire village before being successfully addressed by QC through an environmentally friendly project.
