PROJECT: GHANA NICU

The Accra Legon East Rotary Club in Ghana needs your help!  They are working to complete a much needed Neo Natal Intensive Care (NICU) at the University Hospital in Legon.  Saving the lives of infants in Ghana is critically important to parents, healthcare workers, and newborn infants struggling to stay alive.  Without a proper NICU at the university hospital, nearly 1/3 of infants needing intensive care die before they can be transported to the nearest NICU in Accra.  This series of videos tells the story of Rotarians in Ghana who are working to end this tragedy.  

PART 5 - Doug Alley, President of Somos Hermanos , visits Ghana and reviews the construction site.  He shares what he saw there.

PART 4 - Meet the President of the Accra Legon East Rotary Club and her Club's Service Director as they consult with the project contractor.

PART 3 - Nana Hemaa, President of the Accra Legon East Rotary Club, meets with the director of the hospital and interviews him about the project and their need for a NICU ward. 

PART 2 - Rotarians in Idaho partner with the Accra Legon East Rotary Club in Ghana to help raise $40,000 to complete this NICU in Ghana.  

PART 1 - Project construction began in February 2022 with a groundbreaking, or 'sod breaking' as it is called in Ghana.  This video shows the early phases of construction from the beginning, including laying of the foundation, concrete, and block work for the NICU ward.
