Download this month's BLESSINGS

Ghana is home to Lake Volta, the world's largest artificial lake. Unfortunately its' resources don't reach southward to the country's Central Region. For centuries thousands of children and their families living in villages such as Kofi Kum, Okyereko and Fahwena have relied on rainfall for clean water. When this ran out, they resorted to contaminated sources.

Operation Blessing sponsored programs are giving Ghanaians the opportunity to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives by:

  • Equipping for Life -- Operation Blessing assists people needing to break free from the vicious cycle of poverty.

    a. Living Waters: Many poor rural villages do not have access to clean water. Through the Living Water program, individuals can go to a newly dug or refurbished well when they need water for cooking, drinking and cleaning instead of having to depend on the rain or other sources which are likely contaminated.

    b. Basic Care: Droughts, low wages and little or no access to basic medical care leave families living in rural villages no choice but to struggle to survive. Our shipments of medical equipment. medicine, educational supplies, and other essentials give communities the help and hope needed to keep families together and children alive.

Join us in breaking the cycle of suffering around the world. Please give a gift today!


Ghanaian AIDS Orphan Receives Gift of Education

Every morning Alberta walks with anticipation to the R. Catholic Secondary School in Nyinahin, Ghana. Thanks to a Bless-a-Child scholarship from our Ghanaian outreach center, the 17-year-old no longer watches the other students take the path to school as she and her grandmother make their way to the forest to collect firewood. After experiencing so much sorrow and hardship in her young life, Alberta looks forward to a brighter future!
