Water for Gawugu Village

Aim

This is Gawugu village in Northern Ghana, with no access to clean water. For just £3500 a bore hole would change all that. Can you help?

In April this year, a small team of Methodists from across the UK visited Ghana.  

We were met with warmth and joy everywhere we went.
After spending a few days on the South Coast, we travelled to the North of the country where the climate is drier and resources are more scarce.

This is Nalogni village, near Yendi. Life here has been transformed by the provision of a borehole. Access to water improves health and the time saved travelling long distances to collect water means children spend more time in school.

The people of Gawugu village, near Tamale, don't have access to clean water. They walk long distances every day to shallow rivers and muddy streams to collect water for drinking, washing, cooking and for their crops. Water which they share with cattle, sheep and goats. Not only does this make them ill, but the time they spend collecting water reduces the time they can spend working, growing crops and going to school.

For just £3500 a bore hole can be dug in Gawugu village, bringing health and prosperity to the whole area.

Because we have links through the Methodist Church in this country and in Ghana, all the way to Gawugu village, every penny donated will go directly to the digging of the bore hole, and not one penny will be lost.

Can you help spread the message and transform life for the people of Gawugu?
