Korleman is one of the two farming communities that benefited from the station’s annual Help a Christmas Child initiative in 2016.

The borehole was constructed after it emerged that residents rely on a single borehole for water.

At the end of the memorable event, the Chief of Korleman, Nii Korle the 7th, said the borehole has brought a lot of relief to his people.

The Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Citi FM, and HR Manager, Jennifer Anane Nsiah, said the station has plans of doing similar projects in other deprived communities.

According to her, “Citi FM decided to construct a borehole for the over one thousand residents to provide them with easy access to water after it emerged they rely on just one borehole.”

The request for the borehole to be built was made by the Chiefs and people of the area when the station threw a party for them in 2016, as part of its annual Help a Christmas Child Project.

The construction of the borehole is expected to alleviate the plight of the residents especially school children, who often walk long distances to fetch from just one borehole that serves the community.

The project would comprise a hostel, Information Communication Technology (ICT) centre, library, assembly hall, science laboratory, teachers’ bungalow, classrooms, a dormitory with playing ground, and washroom facilities.

Nii Korle VII, the Chief of Korleman, said this when the chiefs and people of the town in the Ga West Municipality celebrated their Homowo festival at the weekend.

He said land for the school was available, and that the citizens would provide communal labour for the project, whilst self-help contributions between GH¢20.00 and GH¢50.00 would be made by adults and non-residents of the town respectively.

Nii Korle said the school, which would be the community’s contribution towards President Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo’s free education policy would serve more than 15 communities, including Korleman, Samsam Odumase, Medie, Manchea, Adusah, Mayera, Kutunse and Hebron.

He said they were also taking steps to construct a market and Lorry Park for which lands had been offered.

The community was also ready to provide land for the one village one dam project, to create job opportunities for the people.

Nii Korle said through his initiative, the seven-kilometre road from the town to the main Accra/Kumasi trunk road had been re-graveled to make travelling comfortable for the people.

He appealed to the Ga West Municipal Assembly, non-governmental organisations, the Member of Parliament for the area; philanthropists and the Ministry of Education to support them in the construction of the school block.
