Every Sip Counts

A simple electrolyte solution can save a child with dehydration from dysentery and other diarrheal diseases. We will teach mothers when and how to use a syringe with solution to restore an infant's health. Your gift will help us buy the oral syringes and packets of solution.

$15

Smiles Are Contagious

Dental health is a worthy goal! Nursing students will lead a workshop on the importance of oral health with a demo on correct brushing techniques. Your help will allow us to distribute a toothbrush and toothpaste to each participant.

$25

Healing Hands

Villagers die every year from simple wound infections that are easily treatable with the correct supplies. Treating a wound after an injury is the first line of defense against infection! We will present high school age students with "Wound Care 101," arming them with knowledge on infections and treatments. Your generous donation will provide these students with wound care kits.

$35

Fight the Bite

Malaria can be prevented through education and a simple net! We will be working with village mothers to educate them on the prevention of malaria in the most vulnerable populations: infants and children. Help us fight this disease by providing a bed net for a child in need.

$45

Keeping Girls in School

Help us provide reusable sanitary products for young women in an effort to reduce barriers preventing them from attending school. Educated women are empowered women, and your gift can give them the opportunity to have a bright, successful future.

$55

Pots With a Purpose

Ineffective charcoal stoves result in prolonged exposure to high levels of toxic cooking smoke. This leaves women in Ghana stricken with illnesses like emphysema, lung cancer and bronchitis, which impacts their long term health. Through provided education and your support, ceramic coal pots that reduce cooking time and smoke production will be supplied. Last year we were able to reach 330 individuals and provide them with a new coal pot!

$180

Love Thy Neighbor "Bundle"

"Be the change you want to see in the world." Nobody said it better than Ghandi, and University of Arkansas nursing students are putting these words into action! Your support of $180 will provide a "bundle" with all the levels of care listed above. Your help will make a huge difference for a family in Ghana!

$500

Honor a Nurse/Nursing Student

This is the fourth year that University of Arkansas nursing students will be traveling to Ghana to educate and serve. Honor your favorite nurse or nursing student with a gift in their name, and we will send a card of thanks to let them know of your passion for their dedication!
