The borehole was constructed\u00a0after it emerged that residents rely on a single borehole\u00a0for water.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
