Upcoming project:
-
Patients who need blood tests to diagnose their illnesses are referred to another hospital 10 miles away due to lack of reliable testing equipment. Due to the increase in the number of patients at the hospital, they hope to be able to purchase a Hematological Machine in order to be able to perform more accurate full body count tests. This machine will save lives and be a game changer for the many children and women who rely on the hospital for their healthcare.
The machine will cost over 11 million shillings. The villagers hope to be able to raise up to 4 million shillings. Hence, they are requesting 7 million shillings=£2,450 from You Touch Africa.
St Mary's Vocational School, Bo, Ghana
UK Sponsored
Bo Village, in Northern Ghana is in one of the poorest regions of the country. The villagers are peasants who rely on scarce rains to grow crops for their livelihoods. Without education or skills provided to the young girls, many got pregnant at very young age, some moved to towns as domestic workers and others got married as children.

Brother Patrick Norah who was born there and a member of the Society of the Missionaries of Africa, worked together with the villagers to start the St Mary's School. In 2006/7 he got in touch with Fr Arbo and the trustees and requested assistance to complete the school.
You Touch Africa has continued to assist the school financially with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency, which the board of governors and the villagers are determined to achieve by 2021.
