We’re excited to announce that the borehole in Nachem, a rural community of about 500 people in Northern Ghana, has been fully commissioned and is now delivering clean, safe drinking water to the people who need it most.
For years, families in Nachem depended on unsafe and distant water sources. But today, thanks to your support, clean water is flowing right within the community, bringing new life, dignity, and health to all.
The atmosphere during the commissioning was filled with joy. Community members, especially women and children, expressed their excitement through laughter and gratitude. It was more than a celebration, it was the beginning of a healthier future.
Why Clean Water Matters Every Day
Water isn’t just for drinking, it’s used in every part of daily life: cooking, bathing, cleaning, farming, and caring for children. In rural communities like Nachem, not having clean water means constant exposure to waterborne diseases, time lost walking long distances, and limited opportunity for work and education.
Now, with this borehole in place, life is changing:
- Fathers working the land during this farming season can return home to clean water that restores and refreshes them.
- Mothers can cook and care for their families without fear of illness.
- Children can grow healthier, stay in school, and focus on learning instead of fetching water.
A Step Toward a Healthier, Happier Community
Access to clean water means fewer illnesses, improved hygiene, and more time and energy for productive work. It means kids can grow strong, families can thrive, and communities can become more self-reliant.
The Nachem borehole is part of our wider mission at Give Basic Needs to deliver life-changing essentials to underserved communities. It’s a reminder that small acts like helping a village gain access to clean water can lead to big, lasting change.
