Projects
editWater
editThe chiefs and residents of Old Subri in the Wassa East District of the Western Region in July 2023 received a community water project worth GH¢176,294.00 from Ghana Rubber Estate Limited (GREL).[2] The chief mentioned that the timely assistance from companies like, Golden Star Resource, GREL, to consistently cater to community needs in their operational areas, had a significant positive impact on the host communities' lives.[5]
The project includes a mechanized water system with two boreholes, three outlets, and a 20,000-liter capacity. This initiative aims to improve access to clean water for the local community. The community water project, started in 2021, faced a minor setback due to insufficient water from the first borehole. A supplementary borehole was added, and now it is expected to serve around 1,400 people in Old Subri, Western Region.[2]
Education
editPeoples in the town and around can have their formal education at Old Subri D/A Basic School, a public school under the supervision of the district capital, Daboase.[6]
