The Zion Community Church International, in collaboration with Frontier’s Mission Network has constructed a new borehole facility for the people of Uro, a farming community in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region.
The project was commissioned and handed over to the community on Thursday, July 8, 2021, in a short ceremony at Uro.
Hitherto, the community with an estimated population of over 1,000 has been without enough potable drinking water over years and as a result, residents relied on a nearby stream as the source of water for domestic use.
Speaking to Yagbon News after handing over the facility to the community , the General Overseer of the Church, Apostle Dr Moses Sansah Konjon, charged the people of the community to ensure good maintenance of the project.
He also admonished them to seek Christ, especially for He is the living water that gives eternal life (John 4:5-15).
The project is being largely funded through the Church NGO Frontier’s Missions Network.
A youth leader in the community Mr Daniel Tentan, was full of praise to the church for constructing the water facility for the community.
“Potable drinking water has been a burden to us in this community over the years and we have been struggling to get water for domestic use in the community. We are grateful to God and The Church of Zion Community for coming to our aid by constructing this borehole for us,” he said.
According to him “the borehole would help reduce health issues associated with drinking unclean water, and also save time and resources involved searching for water in communities, kilometres away.”
