Promasidor Ghana committed to providing access to clean water – Commercial Director

The Commercial Director of Promasidor Ghana, Abiodun Ayodeji, has highlighted the manufacturing giant’s commitment to providing access to clean water to contrib­ute to the sustained well-being of every Ghanaian society and to achieve Sustainable Develop­ment Goal 6.

“From 2019 till date, we have supported more than 33 com­munities in Ghana with access to portable water. As a caring brand dedicated to providing healthy and quality daily products like Cowbell and Twisco for break­fast, Onga products in every Ghanaian dish, and Yumvita for our young ones, we are passion­ate about alleviating the unsafe drinking water challenges faced by communities. These chal­lenges can significantly impact the health, education, socio-eco­nomic status, and general well­being of community members, especially women and children,” Mr Ayodeji stated.

The Commercial Director noted this for the company as part of the celebrations marking Promasidor Ghana’s (PGH) 25th anniversary handed over nine borehole facilities to selected communities in the Northern, Upper East, Volta, Eastern and Oti regions.

The beneficiaries institutions and communities are Tolon Senior High School in the Northern Re­gion, with 8 communities in Kay­era, Praprabida, and Akim Awisa in the Eastern Region; Adoman, Yaborae and Gyanekrom in Oti Region, Abutia-Kloe in the Volta Region and Kasongo-Kubogo in

 The water supply project is part of the Promasidor Com­munity Impact Drive (PCID), which aims to support sustainable projects that foster social change, enhance the quality of life, and addresses pressing societal needs, especially for vulnerable groups.

The initiative specifically tar­gets communities without access to safe drinking water, ensuring they have a reliable source of clean water.

Mr Ayodeji charged respective community leaders and members to preserve the facility to ensure long-term benefits.

“We encourage the respective user communities and local gov­ernment partners to ensure the sustainable use of these complet­ed projects,” he stated.

Robel Wamisho, Programme Manager for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) at World Vision Ghana, emphasised the capacity of the new water supply projects to provide safe water for community members who previ­ously depended on unsafe water sources.

A representative of one of the beneficiary communities in Afram Plain, Belinda Kumatu, and a Senior Enrolled Nurse at the Praprabebida CHPS Compound expressed heartfelt appreciation to Cowbell and World Vision for their support in providing clean and safe drinking water.
