The Church of Pentecost, in partnership with Nexans Kabelmetals Ghana Limited and CFAO Ghana, has extended electricity to residents of the Jelinkon community, a suburb of Sawla in the Savannah Region of Ghana.
The 10-kilometre electrification project, which cost €130,000.00, was jointly funded by the three organisations.
The residents, predominantly farmers, could not hide their joy when they experienced electricity for the first time during a commissioning ceremony held on June 16, 2022.
The event was attended by a cross-section of the Sawla Area pastorate, Hon. Losina Barikisu (DCE, Sawla Tuna Kalba District), Mrs. Cecilia Adams (Assemblywoman, Jelinkon), the Chief of Jelinkon, staff of Jelinkon D/A Primary and JHS, among others.
The project, which is in line with the Church’s “possessing the nations” agenda, is aimed at augmenting the efforts of the Government of Ghana in extending electricity access to remote parts of the country.
