The mission of this student chapter is to partner with villages in the Ejura Sekyedumase District in Ghana, West Africa, on “global health engineering” projects focusing mainly on community drinking water and sanitation.
Ghana Project
The goal for our first proposed project is to promote and assist in the implementation of household water treatment and safe storage projects in Kobriti, Ghana. Diarrhea and typhoid are common illnesses in patients treated at the Ejura District hospital not far from Kobriti.
The hope is that sustainable development focused on water, sanitation and energy will occur over time in ways that enable improved community health and prosperity.
