Leading powdered milk brand, Cowbell, has marked this year's World Water Day with the commissioning of two boreholes in the Kasena Nankana District of the Upper East Region.

This adds to a total number of 22 boreholes that have been constructed under the Cowbell Borehole project since its commencement.

The Cowbell Borehole project is a community-support initiative under the Cowbell impacting lives campaign with a core objective of providing safe and clean drinking water for vulnerable communities across the country.

The project is also part of efforts by the brand to help achieve Sustainable Development Goals-which talks about clean water and sanitation for all.

Addressing traditional leaders and members of both communities at the sod-cutting ceremony in Kurugu, Commercial Director for Promasidor Ghana (Producers of Cowbell), Samir Sadaoui, expressed his excitement about the completion of the 20 boreholes promised by the brand.

He also assured the gathering of commitment by the brand to construct more boreholes before the end of the year.

Also speaking on the theme for this year’s world water day, “Groundwater - making the invisible visible”, Mr Sadaoui recounted the need for all to contribute to the protection of underground water.

"I would like to remind everyone gathered here of the need to maintain good sanitation in your respective environments. Anything outside of this goes a long way to destroy our groundwater, limiting access to safe drinking water.

"Evidence of the importance of groundwater is in this very borehole and several others we have commissioned in the past. We all have a role to play as community members in protecting our environment and water bodies," he said.

Director of People and Culture at World Vision, Madam Akua Mensah, expressed her excitement about the partnership between her outfit and Cowbell in helping to achieve the Sustainable Development goals of the provision of quality water.

Paramount Chief for the two beneficiary communities, Naaba Henry Abawine Amenga-etego II, shared his appreciation and gratitude on behalf of his community members.

He shared the challenges faced by his people due to difficulties in accessing potable water, for which reason both communities will remain forever grateful to Cowbell and World Vision.
