Ghana

Families in Ghana don’t suffer from a lack of water as much as they suffer from a lack of safe, clean drinking water. Roughly 23 million Ghanaians don’t have regular access to sanitary water. One of the most common diseases plaguing communities in Ghana is cholera due to a lack of quality sanitation and clean water. Ghanaian children are 40 percent more likely than adults to live in poverty, according to UNICEF.

One way to address the growing needs of Ghana’s rural communities is to build village centers complete with water wells to provide safe, clean drinking water as well as a central place to gather, socialize, receive support and learn.

Humanitarian efforts in Ghana focus on addressing these gaps by providing food assistance, improving water and sanitation infrastructure, and supporting education and healthcare programs. By investing in these critical areas, we can help Ghanaian communities overcome these challenges, build resilience, and create a more equitable and sustainable future.

We believe being ready is the key to responding quickly to a crisis.
