Jeety Launches Drilling Project ...To Alleviate Water Crisis at South Beach

Indian businessman Upjit Singh Sachdeva, popularly known as Jeety, has launched a drilling project to address the ongoing water crisis at the Monrovia Central Prison (South Beach) as part of his 59th birthday celebration.

The initiative aims to provide clean and sustainable water access to over 1,549 inmates at the facility, which has long suffered from chronic water shortages affecting sanitation, hygiene, and overall inmate health.

"Water is a basic human right, and regardless of inmates' circumstances, every individual deserves access to clean water. This is just my small way of supporting and uplifting vulnerable segments of Liberian society," Jeety stated during a ceremony at the prison.

The drilling project, expected to be completed within weeks, will tap into underground water sources to establish a reliable supply for drinking, cooking, and sanitation purposes.

Water management experts, engaged through Jeety's support, are overseeing the project to ensure it meets safety and sustainability standards.

Beyond addressing the water crisis, Jeety also provided hot meals to all 1,549 inmates during his visit, continuing his commitment to improving nutrition for those serving sentences or awaiting trial.

"On this special day, I want to give back to God Almighty for His continuous blessings upon my life," said Jeety. "I am grateful to celebrate another birthday and ensure these individuals have the resources they need to live with dignity."

Monrovia Central Prison Superintendent Roosevelt Varney expressed gratitude for the intervention, speaking on behalf of the Justice Minister and Deputies.

"Access to clean water and proper nutrition is essential for the health and well-being of our inmates. Jeety has been a pillar of support for us. His contributions have significantly improved the welfare of our inmates, and we are immensely thankful for his unwavering commitment and support," Superintendent Varney said.

The businessman, who has established himself in various industries including raw materials sales and rubber processing, began his hot-cooked meal initiative in 2017 and has since become known for his extensive philanthropic work throughout Liberia.

Officials hope this initiative will serve as a model for addressing water scarcity in other correctional facilities across the country.

The project represents another chapter in Jeety's humanitarian efforts, which have earned him widespread respect in both business and humanitarian circles.

In a country where access to clean water remains challenging for many communities, Jeety's commitment to the often-overlooked prison population demonstrates how individual action can create meaningful change for vulnerable populations.
