In a significant stride toward enhancing access to clean and safe water, Asharami Synergy, in partnership with the Sahara Group Foundation, has commissioned a solar-powered borehole system in the Omagwa community of Rivers State.
Equipped with a 1.5-horsepower DC water pump powered by 1,200 watts of solar panels, the borehole represents an innovative solution to a critical community need.
