Four Water Towers for Four Villages in Ghana

***We have funded two Water Towers and construction has started (Limonkrom and Camp Four). Help us keep going! ****

 
 

Adjoum

This village is in the Aowin hospital district and we have put a Tiny Clinic there. Illegal mining activity has heavily contaminated the water in the nearby river, and the river water is full of sediment. Basically, the villagers are drinking mud. A deep well has been drilled but we need to build a tower and run underground pipes to supply water to the clinic and the village. This will be an electric well pump. Once we have running water in the clinic, we can receive government approval and be able to enroll villagers in health insurance!

Camp Four

Retaining its name from an old logging camp site, Camp Four is in the Aowin hospital district. We have put a Solar-Powered Tiny Clinic here, and have already drilled a deep well. We need to purchase a solar pump and build a water tower so the clinics and villagers will have clean water. This clinic is ready to go and the nursing staff is lined up. All we need is running water so we can open!

This is a water stands we have already installed. This one required nearly 1/4 mile of hand trenching. The villagers can collect precious, clean water from these community faucets, rather than make a 2 mile trip to the river, which is contaminated.

Elubo

Elubo’s Tiny Clinic is on the sea on a ship called Grande Togo! It is stuffed with $4,000,000 in donated medicine that will be unloaded at two district hospitals. Then the empty container-clinic is set on its lot in Elubo, courtesy of Conship, Ghana. This video shows how beautiful the Tiny Clinic is inside.

This is the Tiny Clinic on its way to Elubo, a village in the Jomoro Hospital District! If we are able to fund the well tower now, the clinic can go into use very quickly as, otherwise, running water will be our missing part of the criteria to create this new Government-approved clinic!

Limonkrom

Limonkrom received our first Tiny Clinic, but has taken the longest time to get completely functioning due to the difficulty getting power to the site. (From now on tese difficult ones are given solar clinics. )The clinic is open. SInce it replaced an existing clinic, it was already registered with Ghana Health Services, and able to open without running water. Nursing staff carries water in buckets on their head to work each morning, where they fill a large indoor dispenser called a Veronica Bucket. We have drilled the well but need the tower and an electric pump.

Limonkrom’s clinic is open without running water.
