The previous water situation in the community

According to reports, the community with over a thousand people had only one functioning borehole constructed in 1964. The community had suffered during dry seasons.

After consulting the administrators and people of Kuruboi, the donation was made for the construction of a fully functional borehole that would provide water all year round.

CEO's comments after presenting the borehole

Speaking during a short handing over ceremony after the project was completed, the CEO of Caveman encouraged all organisations to embark on social intervention projects.

In his own words:

“If every company can help in providing certain basic essential amenities to the communities they operate in, Ghana as a nation will develop at a faster rate than we are doing currently.”
