CAPE COAST — In a bid to address critical infrastructure gaps, the C-Quansah Foundation has commissioned a new borehole for the Kawanopaado community and donated 20 bags of cement to the Ahlussunnah Wal-Jama’ah Mosque in Kotokuraba.
The ceremonies, held on Saturday, December 20, 2025, aimed to enhance access to clean water and provide material support for religious infrastructure. The foundation, led by its founder, Lawyer Charles Quansah, views the donations as part of its core mission to give back to the Cape Coast communities that shaped its members.
“We are privy to the challenges in accessing safe drinking water,” Quansah told journalists. “This is our token to alleviate the burden of our people, especially during the Yuletide.”
He emphasized that many Cape Coast communities have struggled with water scarcity for decades. As a humanitarian organization comprised largely of indigenes, Quansah stated it was “incumbent on us to give back to the society that contributed to shaping our character.”
Highlighting a sustainable model for the project, Quansah explained that while the borehole is a free donation to the community, water will be sold at a nominal fee. The generated revenue, he noted, is earmarked for maintenance and electricity costs to ensure the project’s longevity.
The donation was warmly received. Elated community members in Kawanopaado expressed their gratitude, wishing the foundation “God’s protection, blessings, and growth” to extend their support to other needy communities.
Alhaji Issah Jagbesie, the Deputy Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress in Cape Coast South and the Operations Officer for the C-Quansah Foundation, elaborated on the broader vision.
“Our goal is to provide all 30 electoral areas with mechanized boreholes, each attached to a 10,000-litre water tank,” Jagbesie stated. “This is designed to solve the water crisis, particularly in the southern part of Cape Coast.”
At the Ahlussunnah Wal-Jama’ah Mosque, the Chief Imam, Muhammad Bashir Muhammad, accepted the cement on behalf of the congregation. He thanked Lawyer Quansah and the foundation for responding to their needs and promised continuous prayers for the foundation’s success.
The Kawanopaado project is the foundation’s fourth borehole donation, advancing its aim to build “thriving and self-sustaining communities.” The commissioning was met with widespread admiration and renewed hope for reliable water access.
While the community celebrates this vital resource, the long-term test will be its ability to maintain the borehole and ensure it delivers sustainable benefits for years to come.
