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! ****
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 nurses’ housing, but the well has failed, for unknown reasons. We need to drill a new well. The well drilller has agreed to drill a new well for half price.
Well drilling in Camp Four, drilled with 11 other wells, using fundraising and matching funds from EcoWater SoCal.

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.

Chichiso Village
Needs a Well Pump and Tower
Chichiso’s Tiny Clinic is complete, but it needs a well pump and tower. This video shows how beautiful the Tiny Clinic is inside. This Tiny Clinic was built out of a cargo container, after construction was complete, it was stuffed with medical supplies and sent to Ghana! Now, it is ready to start serving patients, and the well is drilled. We just need a well pump and the platform/tower to hold the water tanks.
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 clinic has been open since 2021. The well pump needs replaced, and 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.
