Imagine
a jumbo jet full of children crashing and all those kids tragically and
senselessly losing their lives. This is not far from
reality since lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a
rate equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing…every four hours. Now
imagine this: You, living in the United States, capable of providing the direct
means of keeping these children alive with a small donation. A place where your
money goes directly to providing clean water for children and adults alike. Would
you do it?
Do we
have the ability to cause a ripple in this river of hardship and difficulty
associated with lack of access to clean water? Today, I tell you that we can.
Join Reach4Ghana (R4G) in its quest to provide clean water for hundreds
of families in Ghana for years to come. A contribution of simply $25
will buy one large filter which will provide clean water for a family for THREE
years and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to purchasing each filter.
That means NO overhead cost and hence, you personally know that you are giving
the life saving gift of water to those in desperate need.
These
filters were developed by an MIT professor and are made locally in Ghana
through a sustainable organization known as Pure Home Water.
Hence, we are hoping to simultaneously help support their efforts in providing
clean water as well as stimulate the local economy.
Who We Are: R4G is
composed of medical, pharmacy, and physical therapy students in collaboration
with physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and pharmacists that aim to
provide sustainable medical relief as well as rural health education to five
villages in the Volta region of Ghana. This Friday, we begin our journey
and are asking you to help give the gift of clean water to those in need.
While
you can’t hear them, children RIGHT NOW families are in desperate need for our
help. Though we are small organization, we know that with your help we may be
able to make a dent in this gross epidemic that CAN BE PREVENTED.
Below
is the Paypal account for where you may be able to donate any monetary amount
towards our goal. Remember $25=you giving clean water to a family
for three years.

to take care of those who do not have access to our means. Let’s get out there
and make that difference.
