The water project covering con­struction of boreholes, acquisition of reservoir tanks, pipes and the water treatment as well as labour services was basically funded through levies, appeals and dona­tions by benefactors.

Mr Samuel Aboni, a citizen of Avatime Amedzofe who made the donation on behalf of the UK-based Avatime citizens union, commended the Avatime Vane Citizens Association (VACA) for spearheading the implementa­tion of the water project aimed at cushioning the plight of local residents during periods of acute water shortage in the area.

He urged citizens of Avatime Vane to reinforce loyalty towards contributing generously in support of development programmes in the community.

Receiving the dummy cheque covering the donation, the Chair­man of VACA, Mr Peter Bosrotsi, on behalf of the Association, chiefs and the entire citizenry expressed appreciation to the UK-based Avatime citizens union for the donation, noting that it was worth the purpose of the water project.

The UK-based Avatime citizens union, for the past five years has begun an initiative to providing charity support and contributing to the socio-economic devel­opment of the seven Avatime communities.

They include Amedzofe, Gbadzeme, Fume, Dzokpe, Biak­pa, Dzogbefeme and Vane.
