Former First Lady and President of the Lordina Foundation, Mrs. Lordina Dramani Mahama, has provided the Ampoma and Bodom communities in the Bono East Region with water supply systems to celebrate her 60th birthday.
Mrs. Mahama, born on 6th March 1963, decided to solve the water situation in Ampoma and Bodom, her maternal and paternal hometowns, by constructing mechanised borehole systems to serve the two separate communities.
Inaugurating the Community Water Supply Systems ahead of her 60th birthday, Mrs. Mahama emphasised the importance of community ownership and why the people and their chiefs must work together to ensure an effective management of the water systems.
The President of the Lordina Foundation noted the importance of having quality water in communities, adding that good drinking water helps promote better hygiene, improved public health and a clean environment.
