SOTA International, an American NGO, commissioned a new borehole called “Unity Well” in Atasemanso Zongo, Ghana, to deliver clean water to residents.

The GH¢48,000 facility resulted from a donation by Abdul Sahmed, requested by the local assemblyman, and brought together leaders from different religious and political groups for its opening. Dr. Kelli Ducloux, founder and CEO of SOTA International, explained she intends to fund 50 water wells across Africa as part of a commitment she made in February 2024.

Bridge-To-Africa Connection (BTAC) helped facilitate the project, with Executive Director Sutherland Adwoa Dawn emphasizing the importance of maintaining the well to potentially secure additional resources for the community. Nana Ofori Nyarko of Atasemanso and Abdul Mumin Abdallah, head of the Zongo community, both thanked the donors and pledged to properly maintain the new water source, which will serve the area’s 11,000 residents.
