The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated a mechanized borehole system to the small community of Addokrom, located in the Ashanti Region’s Ejisu municipality in Ghana. The borehole will provide accessible, clean water to residents. Community members and Church leaders celebrated the donation on July 22, 2025.
In the past, residents of the agricultural community have drawn their potable water from small nearby streams, transporting it to the village daily. Occasionally, hot, dry weather caused those streams to dry up, leaving the residents with no clean water.
Aware of the Church’s humanitarian efforts in other nearby areas, members of the community approached the Church to ask for help to resolve the issue. The Church responded by providing a mechanized borehole, complete with a solar-powered pump and a 5,000-liter polytank for storing water. Residents can now bring containers to the borehole to obtain cool, clean water anytime.
