The Northern Health Shield is Give Basic Needs’ flagship initiative in Ghana and our primary focus for 2026.

For just $35, your donation helps provide clean, safe drinking water and preventive health protection for communities in Northern Ghana.

Your gift supports:

• Access to clean water through long-lasting borehole infrastructure
• Preventive health screenings for illnesses such as malaria, Hepatitis B & C, and HIV/AIDS
• Community-based outreach that reduces waterborne disease and protects families before emergencies arise

One $35 gift can help provide clean drinking water for approximately 14 people for over 10 years, reducing disease risk and improving long-term health outcomes.

This is not temporary aid. It is a locally anchored health system designed to strengthen communities when external support shifts.

Your support helps build resilience, dignity, and lasting health security in Northern Ghana.
