 EWB-UMN has teamed up with EWB MN Professionals to work with the Minnesota Academy in Ghana. The Minnesota Academy runs a school in Amponsah Akroase, with more than 1000 children and adults attending daily. Neither the town nor the school has a source of clean water for drinking, nor do they have a sanitation system to properly dispose of human wastes. Our chapters have agreed to work with the Minnesota Academy to help solve their water quality and sanitation problems. |
