It also donated food items to several communities within the Upper River Region as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility.
The Cornerstone Construction Company was founded in 1991 on the principle of providing quality work with a strong commitment to a successful outcome for each project.
The company offers a full range of contracting services to residential clients, developers, and retailers. With their design services, clients can be sure of getting the professional service they deserve.
Mr Ing Jonas Agyemang said the company believes in giving back to society since its inception of the company.
“As a company, we don’t only limit ourselves to the work that is contracted to us, we employ young people even without skills not to only pay them salaries but to train them along the line and make sure that even if the project is completed they can use those skills to do other things for themselves and earn a living,” he said.
Mr Agyemang said they have drilled a borehole for a community at the far end of CRR and also employed about forty people just within the surrounding communities within the same Region.
“We did not stop there; we donated a pickup to Njawo Village police post. This vehicle is donated to them so that it can assist them in their monitoring duties and other functions within the communities,” he said.
Cornerstone Construction Company is currently awarded the contract for two Road Project in the Central River Region (CRR).
Lot two road project is fifty kilometers long, featuring surface dressing, with hydraulic structures, road furniture, sidewalks, drainage systems, and lightening systems.
The fifty kilometers EPC road project is divided into three sections: Section one Karantaba – Reneru – Tabanani – Demfaye – Njaga-Fitu Fulla is twenty-six kilometers long, Section two – Njau Loop, twelve kilometers, and Section three – Laminkoto – Banni – Youna and Kunting is twelve kilometers.
Madam Aminata Dampha, one of the beneficiaries’ said before the drilling of the borehole in their community they used to fetch water from an old well that was dug in their village long ago.
“This well was very bad. We didn’t even allow our children to go there and fetch water because it was not safe. Now we are blessed with portable and safe water,” she said.
Madam Dampha said life was difficult with them because they used to wake early in the morning to go to the well to fetch water, adding: “The said well despite its condition, it was the only well in the whole community so you have to wake up early in the morning so that you will not stand there for long waiting for others to fetch water.”
