Volta Council of State member pledges GH₵60k borehole for Sokode Ando community

For years, the people of Sokode Ando in the Ho Central Municipality have lived with a silent crisis, no access to clean drinking water, not even at their health center.

Mothers walk long distances with children in tow just to fetch water. Nurses improvise daily to care for patients without the most basic necessity—water.

But at a gathering meant to celebrate five years of community service by the Volta College Foundation (VCF), that silence was broken—with hope.

Moved by the urgent need, the Volta Region’s representative on the Council of State, Gabriel Kwamigah Tanko Atokple, rose from his seat and made a heartfelt pledge: to personally fund the entire cost of a mechanised borehole for the community, valued at GH₵60,000.

“Safe drinking water is not a luxury; it is a necessity,” Mr. Atokple declared, his voice steady with conviction. “No community should suffer simply because of where they are located. As part of my commitment to ensuring equity in development, I will cover the full cost of this water project for Sokode Ando.”

His words sparked spontaneous applause from the audience, many of whom were visibly moved, not just by the promise, but by what it meant for hundreds of families in Sokode Ando who have waited too long for this basic right.

The pledge was made during the 5th Anniversary celebration of the Volta College Foundation, a fast-growing organisation founded in 2019 and now recognized for its strategic and purpose-driven approach to regional development in the Volta and Oti Regions.

The event also served as a fundraiser to support the water project—an initiative chosen deliberately to reflect the Foundation’s core values of dignity, health, and empowerment for all. And it was no coincidence that the chosen project aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 6: ensuring access to clean water and sanitation for all.

In his remarks, Mr. Atokple praised the Foundation not only for its consistent service but for weaving its work into the global call for sustainable development.

“What touched me most,” he said, “is how deliberately the Foundation’s initiatives align with the SDGs. It’s not just about charity—it’s about impact, about results, and about leaving no one behind.”

Over the years, the Volta College Foundation has led initiatives spanning education, youth empowerment, sanitation, and community health. But on this day, their story became intertwined with that of Sokode Ando—a story of resilience, need, and now, hope.
