HFC Investments, a subsidiary of HFC Bank, has inaugurated a mechanized borehole for pupils of Manchie M\/A Basic School, located in the Ga West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n
The borehole, estimated at a cost of GHS19,000, was completed within two months to serve students and staff of the school.<\/p>\n
The inauguration of the borehole project was witnessed by students and teachers of Manchie M\/A Basic School, staff of HFC Investments, representatives from the Municipal Education Directorate, and the Chiefs and people of Manchie.<\/p>\n
This is the second time HFC Investments is inaugurating a project in the small farming community. It is a follow up to the earlier project inaugurated for the school in 2016, which is a 3-unit classroom block.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The mechanized borehole, located on the school\u2019s premises, means that pupils who hitherto walked several kilometers in search of water or joined long winding queues to fetch water at the limited boreholes (non-mechanized), will no longer go through this.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the pupils said, \u201cWe can now heave a sigh of relief. No more walking long distances, carrying buckets on our heads to fetch water. Now we can study better because we don’t have to use school hours to go in search of water\u201d.<\/p>\n
