MoneyGram has provided boreholes to three communities in the Upper West, Ashanti and Greater Accra Regions in line with its objective of helping to extend portable drinking water to deprived communities nationwide.
The company provided the boreholes at separate times to the people of Asuboi in the Ashanti Region, students at the Wa School for the Blind in the Upper West Region and inhabitants of Abokobi in the Greater Accra Region.
It constructed efficient mechanised boreholes and provided a poly tank to serve as a source of water supply for the people.
MoneyGram intervened following media reports that the inhabitants were facing water challenges.
The success of the Abokobi project, as well as the other projects, has been well accepted by all stakeholders, especially the beneficiary communities since MoneyGram intervened at the right moment.
MoneyGram is promising to invest more in the water and sanitation sector in the deprived communities.
MoneyGram, an international money transfer company, has been operating in the country for over 10 years.
It has invested substantial amount of money in some deprived communities nationwide in a bid to help cushion the lives of the people.
In a related development, MoneyGram has ended a joint seminar for its agents in Ghana and Nigeria as part of efforts to sensitize them on security, anti-fraud and other compliances.
About 100 operators of MoneyGram services were trained by experienced resource persons.
