Ghanaian actor and politician John Dumelo has once again attracted attention for taking practical steps to support a community in need.
The actor revealed that he has drilled a borehole for the Accra Training College at East Legon following water shortages that reportedly affected the institution last week.
Sharing the development on social media, Dumelo wrote:
“Last week, water shortages hit the campus of Accra Training College, East Legon. This morning I drilled a borehole to mitigate the issue….”
The gesture has sparked conversations online, with many praising Dumelo for responding to an immediate challenge with a practical solution.
Access to reliable water is essential for any educational institution, particularly a training college where students and staff need water for drinking, sanitation, cooking and other daily activities.
Rather than simply drawing attention to the problem, Dumelo’s intervention is expected to provide the school with an additional source of water and help reduce the impact of future shortages.
The development also adds to the public image of Dumelo as a public figure who frequently speaks about community development and social issues.
For students and staff of the college, however, the most important part of the gesture is straightforward — water is now closer to the campus.
The borehole project has therefore turned an unexpected water crisis into an opportunity for a more sustainable solution, while once again putting John Dumelo in the spotlight for his community-focused intervention.
