In Equatorial Guinea, where Ophir has invested heavily over the last few years, we have been actively involved in community development. In addition to the construction of a school (details in the Education tab) we have also acquired and installed four electricity generators into hospitals in Evinayong, Kogo Mbini and Acurenam
Ophir has also been active in Tanzania for a number of years. Ophir has invested in excess of US$10 million in the development of the Mtwara port. Approximately half of this sum was spent in the local community providing a major boost to the area. As expected the entire project was backed up by a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment.
Ophir has an office in Mtwara. During its recent drilling campaign offshore Tanzania Ophir provided accommodation in Mtwara for over 60 workers. To accommodate these people during the drilling phase Ophir rented 13 residential properties. Prior to occupation all of the properties underwent a full refurbishment to ensure they were fully compliant with international housing standards. As a result of this work the landlords have seen the value of their rented properties increase substantially - a good result for both parties.
Ophir has also supported other schemes in the Mtwara port town. For example it has begun funding of a local maternity clinic. Funds go towards providing essential drugs and baby equipment.
