Bringing Clean Water and Health to Where It's Needed Most

A Need for Care

Around the world, millions of people living in remote rural communities lack access to even the most basic health services. Shockingly, more than half of health clinics in these areas do not have running water or handwashing facilities—critical tools for safe childbirth, infection prevention, and everyday care.

Can you imagine a mother giving birth without clean water? Doctors and nurses trying to fight infection without the ability to wash their hands? Children dying from preventable illnesses simply because health workers don’t have the training or tools to treat them?

Thanks to the generosity of our school community, we are helping to fund a vital project that will transform health care for families in rural Ghana.

This project includes:

  • Bringing clean water to a rural health clinic
  • Installing hand-washing stations, toilets, and showers
  • Training and equipping community health workers (CHWs) to reach families in remote areas
  • Providing critical medical equipment and supplies
  • Offering additional training for clinic personnel

This project will also help address the four leading causes of death in children under age five:

malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia—all preventable and treatable with access to clean water, hygiene, and basic medical care.

Our Impact

With an investment of $80,000, this initiative will bring clean water and health upgrades to not just one, but two rural health clinics in Ghana—thanks to a generous matching gift from another donor.

Together, these two clinics will serve an estimated 10,000 people, delivering life-saving care through safer, cleaner, and more effective health services.
