A nurse feels lucky when his clinic gets clean water
A nurse named Lucky didn’t live into his name when he first saw the new clinic in southern Zambia where he’d been assigned. It had no running water, a crumbling roof, and a bat infestation. But World Vision led refurbishing the initial clinic and building a new maternity ward, and they brought clean water into the community.

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.
