Ohafia General Hospital, located in Eastern part of Nigeria, needs running water. The hospital was iconic for deliverying children, training doctors and nurses and highly placed in out-patient and in-patient services. That is all history, because there is no running water in the hospital. Poor people, both old and young are needlessly facing ill health and hardship in obtaining healthcare services as there is no running water for the basic health needs.

Funding is generously required to source water through borehole to re-born the services that could be offered by this hospital. At least, we will be sure nurses and doctors wash their hands, patients do not have to look for water to wash their wounds before dressing them, babies and can be born with less infections setting in, etc. Be part of this fundraising and help us save more lives. 

Ohafia people can be found all over the world and in every imaginable profession. While many have found success in places far from Ohafia, most retain a bond to their ancestral home. Those who reside in Ohafia are as industrious as their brothers and sisters who have moved away. Ohafia women are hardworking farmers and many of those who work as clerks, teachers, civil servants and in other professions also perform some farm work. This reflects a work ethic that celebrates a fundamental pride in farming. But it also reveals a practical outlook recognizing that farming provides insurance against the instability of the global economy. How can they maintain this work ethic without good health, how can they maintain good health without running water in the hospital?
