Ghana, a country of over 33 million people, continues to face critical challenges in water, sanitation, and public health particularly in its northern and rural regions. Despite progress, millions still lack access to basic and safely managed WASH services, especially in schools, healthcare facilities, and hard-to-reach communities. These gaps contribute to persistent health risks, increased school absenteeism, and preventable disease transmission.
The burden of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) remains high in the northern and coastal belts, with women, children, and people living in poverty disproportionately affected. Inadequate WASH infrastructure, poor hygiene practices, and weak health systems deepen the cycle of disease and marginalization.
At GrowthAid Ghana, we view these intersecting challenges not as obstacles, but as a clear call to action. Through gender-responsive, climate-resilient, and community-led WASH, health, and livelihood interventions, we are committed to transforming lives, from vulnerability to resilience, and from exclusion to dignity.
