In honour of World Water Day 2023, an annual United Nations (UN) observance day, and as part of the efforts to strengthen brand and community relationship, itel has today, donated an electric pump borehole to residents of Koran Goje community in Nasarawa Local Government Area, Kano. This is the brand’s way of responding to the needs of Koran Goje community, where over 5,000 community dwellers have faced multiple challenges in accessing safe water, including health risks and cost associated with using untreated water. It is also in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6 to provide clean water and sanitation for all. Safe drinking water is vital to human health and allows communities to be more productive economically.
The electric pump borehole, initiative by itel provides Koran Goje residents a new lease of life, where they can now get safe water that can last a long time, and service members of the community without extra costs. The smartphone, TV and other appliances brand further trained members of the community on how to fix the borehole in the event of any future complications. Residents could not conceal their excitement at the project.
A spokesperson for the community addressed the itel delegates, where he appreciated the brand for the initiation of the community project. Engineer Abubakar Usman said, “This is an important day for us. Today, the itel family has reminded us of what it means to make our children and our community smile. We are thankful because this brand has kept its word to us and has showed us that we too are part of the society.”
