National Lottery Authority's (NLA) Corporate Social Responsibility division has provided four boreholes for the Abotakyi Village in the Akuapem North District of the Eastern Region.

Over the years, the indigenous people of Akuapem North District have survived on the Nyenyeme River as their main source of water, exposing them to water-related diseases.

To promote community health and an easily accessible water supply, the charity arm of the NLA, the Good Causes Foundation, stretched its arms to the people of Akuapem North by providing a healthy and sustainable water supply.

Since it was put in place, it has provided support for the less privileged in society and has contributed immensely to the development agenda of the country.

In February 2022, the Good Causes Foundation donated GH80,000 to the Rotary Club of Accra-Legon East to construct a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the University of Ghana Legon Hospital.

Announcing the gesture, the Director General for the National Lottery Authority, Sammy Awuku, said in a Facebook post: “For a long time, the people of the Abotakyi community depended on the Nyenyeme River as their main source of water.

As part of our commitment to making a positive impact, the National Lottery Authority, through its Good Causes Foundation, has commissioned four boreholes for the people of the Abotakyi community in the Akuapem North District of the Eastern Region.”

The commissioning, according to the post, saw the presence of the “Chief of Abotakyi, Nana Okyekerekuro, Kwame Sakyi Ababio II, Asasewhene of Akuapem Traditional Area, the Queen Mother of Abotakyi, Aburihene, and Adontehene of Akuapem, Nana Otoobour Djan Kwasi II.

"Other distinguished traditional leaders of the Abotakyi Traditional Area and the Assemblyman for the electoral area were also present.”
