Water Wells:

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. Mark 10:42

Water! We take it for granted. It is only a few steps away and a turn of a faucet. In many places in northern Ghana having just a cup of water is not so easy. Sometimes an entire day can be spent just in carrying and storing enough water for the household to use. The next morning the routine starts all over again. As a result many children miss out on attending school. Oftentimes the water supply—a reservoir or small stream—are many miles away and the water is not safe to drink. (Parasites, bacteria, etc.) This necessitates finding firewood to boil the water. Another backbreaking chore that eats into the day.
