The Gift of "Sachet" Water

GHANA

At the Egyam Children's Home, 78 orphaned children get to earn an education, learn about the Gospel, and form a family with each other. Thanks to the Sisters who run the home these precious children have a place to call home. Drinking water sold in plastic bags, also known as sachet water, is growing rapidly in West Africa. The Sisters saw this opportunity and ran with it. Currently, the Egyam Home has two water wells on its property. One of these can be converted and used commercially to produce sachet water on a large scale. With your ongoing help, we can help the Egyam Children's Home produce sachet water on a large scale for their surrounding community!
