Hive is ready to inagurate and handover first borehole to a community in Ghana on World Water Day.

As the world gets ready to commemorate World Water Day, it is crucial to keep in mind that access to safe drinking water is critical for human health and development. In this update, I discuss the hive ecosystem's preparations and preparedness to launch and dedicate a borehole to the Asamang community in Ghana tomorrow 22nd March 2023.
Water is a basic human right, yet millions of people worldwide still lack access to clean, safe water. This is especially true in Ghana's rural regions, where people often depend on dangerous water sources like surface water or shallow wells, which may lead to waterborne infections.

Hive just began a new project for the year 2023, which included borehole construction. We have made great work on this project and are now ready to inaugurate and pass it over to the community. Identifying the community that will benefit from a borehole was the first step in planning for its launch and dedication. This included doing a needs assessment to identify which communities are most in need of clean water. This evaluation included aspects such as population size, distance to current water sources, and the occurrence of waterborne infections. The Asamang village was selected to get two boreholes for water delivery.

After securing finance, the next stage was to find an appropriate place for the drilling. Doing geological studies to establish the optimal drilling location, taking into consideration elements such as water quality, depth, and accessibility, was required. Working with local authorities and community leaders was critical to ensuring that the selected site was acceptable to the community and that the essential licenses were received.

After the drilling stage of the borehole, it was critical to evaluate the water quality to confirm that it was safe for human consumption. This included doing frequent water quality tests to detect any pollutants that could be present in the water. Moreover, it was critical to educate and teach the community about the necessity of maintaining excellent hygiene and sanitation practices in order to avoid the spread of waterborne infections.

Today, the borehole's launch and dedication ought to be a community-wide event. This entails planning a community celebration, inviting local leaders and community partners to speak, and making accessible all media outlets willing to cover the event. It is critical to acknowledge the efforts of all people who helped make the drilling feasible, as well as to underline the value of clean water for the community's health and growth.

Ultimately, launching and dedicating a borehole to a Asamang community on world water day requires considerable planning and preparation. Inviting prominent media houses and leaders to commemorate the occasion worth it. In all, we invite all hivers and the world at large to prepare for the great moment in making changes to the lives of people at Asamang.
