Enterprise Insurance constructs mechanised boreholes as part of its 100th-anniversary

Enterprise Insurance has constructed mechanised boreholes in all sixteen regions of Ghana as part of its centenary celebrations and in line with the company’s commitment to making a lasting impact on the communities it serves.

This initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) six (6), which aims to ensure access to water and sanitation for all by 2030.

Managing Director for Enterprise Insurance, Akosua Ansah-Antwi said that water is life, and yet, according to the UN, billions of people around the world will still lack access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene unless progress towards this goal is accelerated.

“Enterprise Insurance recognises the crucial role that businesses can play in contributing to this global agenda, and we are determined to take bold steps in addressing the water access challenges faced by many Ghanaian communities,” she said.

A Century of Service, a Legacy of Impact

For 100 years, Enterprise Insurance has been a pillar in the Ghanaian insurance industry, providing reliable protection to individuals and businesses across the country.

As we celebrate this significant milestone, we are reminded of our responsibility to give back to the society that has supported our growth.

The construction of these mechanized boreholes is more than a corporate social investment; it is a legacy of impact and a demonstration of our deep commitment to the well-being of Ghanaians.

Each of the 16 mechanised boreholes is strategically located to serve communities in need of reliable access to clean and safe water.

These boreholes are designed to alleviate the burden of water scarcity, improve hygiene standards, and contribute to better health outcomes, particularly in rural areas where access to potable water remains a challenge.

Supporting SDG Goal 6: A Call to Action

Enterprise Insurance’s decision to focus on water access aligns directly with SDG Goal 6: "Ensure access to water and sanitation for all."

Clean water is not just a necessity for survival; it is essential for promoting health, reducing poverty, and fostering economic development. Without accelerated progress, many people will still face the dire consequences of water scarcity by 2030.

“At Enterprise, we believe that addressing this challenge requires collective effort. Our commitment to constructing mechanised boreholes in each region is a call to action for other organizations and stakeholders to join the fight for clean water access.

"We are hopeful that this initiative will inspire organizations across Ghana to prioritize long-term, sustainable solutions that contribute to national development and global goals,” Akosua assures.

A Project Worth Emulating

Our mechanised borehole project is a testament to the positive change that corporations can create when they actively engage in meaningful social investments.

We encourage other companies to take similar steps, addressing critical issues such as water access, sanitation, education, and healthcare, which are central to sustainable development.

As Enterprise Insurance marks its centenary, we remain committed to making a difference beyond the boardroom. By investing in our communities, we are securing a healthier, more prosperous future for all.

Let us work together to ensure that safe water becomes a reality for every Ghanaian, and by extension, every human being. Join us in this effort to transform lives and build a sustainable future for generations to come.

Enterprise Insurance continues to be a driving force in promoting sustainable development, and our centenary borehole project is just the beginning.

At Enterprise, we are committed to building a better tomorrow for all in line with our Mission to provide all who come into contact with us their desired advantage because we are the best at what we do!”

“We believe this partnership comes at a crucial time to ensure drivers have extra peace of mind - allowing drivers to continue earning without compromising on their safety, especially as drivers face unique challenges on the road. In addition, our driver engagements have always revealed the desire of our drivers, to plan and save for the future. This partnership with Enterprise allows us to give our drivers convenient access to the protection and savings they need in one fell swoop. We are committed to forming further strategic partnerships such as these to show our commitment to the welfare of our drivers. ,” explains Marjorie Saint-Lot, Head of Ghana and Ivory Coast, Uber.
