Prior to the inauguration, lack of access to clean and drinkable water has plagued the people of Wungu and neighbouring communities for decades. As a result, the people of the communities had to embark on a three-kilometre walk daily to fetch water for their families.
Speaking during the inauguration, the award-winning actress said, “We hope this will trigger more discussion on how to help more rural communities. Lack of safe drinking water is one of the world’s leading problems. We want to put an end to clean water scarcity in West Africa.”
According to her, with continued support of the entertainment industry and Africa World Airlines, the inauguration of the borehole is the first in a series of initiatives targeted at helping women and children in Nigeria and Ghana.
The inauguration ended with a visit to a nursery school where she spoke to the youngsters about ‘dreaming big’ and not being defined by their current circumstances.
