Adeiso (E/R), Oct. 4, GNA – The Management of
Voltic Ghana Limited, in partnership with Jaldhaara Foundation, has provided
support to the Adeiso SDA Basic School under the ‘Water for Schools’ Programme.
The support will enable Voltic and its partner
to provide treated drinking water to school children on daily basis of between
10 and 15 gallons depending on the number of children in the school.
As part of the support, Voltic Ghana Limited
presented water bottles and exercise books to the children.
Mrs Joyce Ahiadorme, the Public Affairs and
Communication Manager, Voltic Ghana Limited, told the Ghana News Agency that
the Company’s 20,000 dollars investment in ‘Water for Schools’ Programme
confirmed its commitment towards the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goal Six.
She said the partnership with Jaldhaara
Foundation was to provide clean drinking water to the children to reduce water
borne diseases.
Mrs Ahiadorme said; “The partnership is
to provide potable drinking water to schools in water stressed communities,
while creating awareness on sustainable use of water”.
She said the investment of 20,000 dollars
would be used to provide water for 2000 school children in five schools across
the country in deprived communities.
She said the Company was committed and
passionate about supplying clean, safe, and quality drinking water to school
children.
“Our aim is to take care of school children’s
thirst, while the pupils thirst for academic excellence,” Mrs Ahiadorme said.
“Voltic will continue to partner other
organisations to find sustainable ways to improve the livelihood of its
customers, suppliers and employees, while championing on “women empowerment,
water and waste management”.
Mr Shambho Komar, the Country Head, Jaldhaara
Foundation, said the organisation engaged in the provision of clean and potable
water to under-served communities.

Limited would provide water to selected schools in the Ashanti, Eastern and
