Hive's Life-Changing Borehole Project in Northern Ghana: Breaking Ground Soon

It has been a life-transforming journey with Hive since last year when we embarked on the Hive Empowers Communities Projects, reaching out to deprived communities in Ghana. Throughout these outreach efforts, we have educated, informed, and empowered individuals and communities, fostering an even greater appreciation for technology. These projects now serve as compelling evidence in support of the Hive blockchain, exemplifying the significant impact it can make in our world today.

Today, we are delighted to share with the Hive community plans underway for construction of another community borehole in the northern part of Ghana. The Northern Region, which is the largest region in Ghana in terms of area, also faces the challenge of being the driest region due to low rainfall. Consequently, accessing water is a major issue for most communities in the north. While the government initiated the dam project to improve water accessibility, particularly for irrigation purposes to benefit farmers, it has not been a good source of potable water and has also not been sufficient to reach many villages in the North.

Our recent survey in the area has shed light on the situations and challenges faced by the villagers regarding water access. The video shared shows a community in the north that had to depend on a nearby dam as their primary water source. Unfortunately, this dam provided untreated water that was accessible to both humans and livestock. It is a concerning situation, and we are pleased to announce that plans are already in progress to construct the third borehole of the year in this community. This will help alleviate the bad water situation and bring about positive change.

After completing all the necessary surveys of the area with the drilling company, we will break ground to commence yet another transformational Hive-sponsored project that will make a significant difference in the North. Appreciation to @valueplan for the sponsorship, to my colleague @mcsamm for their exceptional teamwork, and our wonderful team members @depressedfuckup and @samed10, who will be assisting in supervising the project work in the North. Lastly, I want to thank every member of the Hive community who has been supportive of this worthy cause, bringing hope to many.
