When families cannot afford to purchase basic school supplies for their children, teachers often compensate by using their personal funds. For many students across the Pacific Northwest, those simple items help remove small barriers to learning.

Two midwives, two experiences
Nearly 4 million Ghanaians lack clean water, a burden felt most in rural clinics where midwives like Mabel and Ramicah struggle to provide safe care. Their facilities depend on contaminated open dams, forcing staff and patients to collect unsafe water that contributes to diarrhea, typhoid, skin infections, and dangerous conditions for mothers and newborns. Water shortages often lead to early discharges, and caregivers themselves fall ill. Child mortality remains high, with many deaths linked to poor water and sanitation. A new mechanized water system installed by World Vision transformed Ramicah’s clinic — providing clean water, functional sanitation, and increasing patient attendance. World Vision is assessing similar solutions for Mabel’s community and aims to expand safe water access across Ghana, including to 500 schools and 200 health facilities, benefiting 700,000 people. Their stories underscore the urgent need for lasting clean water.
