Transforming Lives Through Clean Water Access

Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet millions in Ghana still struggle daily to find safe drinking water. Women and children walk for hours to fetch contaminated water, leading to disease, missed education, and economic hardship. At JF Ithand Firm Care Foundation we believe no community should suffer from water scarcity.
