Lion Heart Yele Pure Water
Current Price: 8 NLe a bundle
Lion Heart Yele Pure Water is certified by the Sierra Leonean government. The water is pumped up from a very deep borehole, at 70 metres deep, and is filtered 7 times to realize pure, safe and great tasting water.
The water factory is located at 45 Waterworks Road, just beside the hospital premises.
In 2023 the Lion Heart Medical Centre opened a water factory with the aim to provide safe and clean drinking water to the surrounding chiefdoms. Lion Heart Yele Pure Water is the only water factory in a large region and is certified by the Sierra Leonean government. The factory, next door to the hospital, runs on solar power.
The idea to build a water factory came from the Management Team of the hospital. ‘We, the locals, make this hospital not just better, we make it the best hospital in Sierra Leone’, explains Hospital Manager Yankuba Sesay. The water factory provides an important source of income that enables the hospital to keep providing quality healthcare at a small price. Also, the water factory provides more jobs for the local community.
At the opening ceremony a team of five MOHS representatives travelled for the occasion to Yele Town. Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mustapha Kabba performed the honour of cutting the ribbon. ‘This is an example that we have never seen in any health facility in Salone’, praised Dr. Kabba the initiative of LHMC. ‘Lion Heart shows us that it is possible to also go into entrepreneurship and raise funds to support our own activities within the hospital, apart from helping the community.’
