In a video posted by @SIKAOFFICIAL1 on Twitter, one leader in the Daboase town said:

In this community, we don’t have potable water. There is a stream which is over one kilometre away, that is why the assembly members wrote to Stonebwoy that we need our water challenge solved. Galamsey has destroyed all our water bodies that is why Stonebwoy agreed to drill a borehole for us so that we will have water and have life. God bless you Stonebwoy and bless your works.

The musician, known in private life as Livingstone Etse Satekla, upon receiving their request, decided to change the situation in Daboase through his foundation.
