In the remote savannah region of North-East Ghana, nine villages and more than 10,000 people have waited generations for reliable access to healthcare. In December 2025, a dream became reality. Zambulkura Community Medical Center was officially inaugurated in the presence of regional leaders, including the Regional Minister, HE Tia Ibrahim. A dedicated water supply, will realize the full potential of the medical center: Safe childbirth, infection prevention, handwash and overall hygiene.

It is essential for: Safe childbirth, infection prevention, handwashing, general hygiene, cleaning medical equipment, patient care, staff accommodation. Approx. 95% of the investment has already been made in building the infrastructure, the remaining 5% for the water is needed to ensure optimal operation.
