Gifts Of Water, Shoes & Hope

September 30, 2025 by Steve Greene, MD in Blog
Gifts Of Water, Shoes & Hope

I’ve just returned from five incredible weeks in Ghana, overflowing with gratitude for the unforgettable moments of hope, progress, and joy we shared together. Every day on the ground was a living reminder of the extraordinary difference your generosity is making.

In the Northern Region, our most ambitious water project yet is taking shape. Thanks to the immense generosity of Brother’s Brother Foundation, we’ve expanded the dam in Jarigu to provide year-round water for more than 8,000 people. As the rainy season fills the dam, we are preparing for the second phase—treating the water to deliver clean, safe, healthy drinking water to this beautiful community.

We are overjoyed to share that four new villages now celebrate the gift of clean water. The joy and gratitude were palpable as families drank safe water for the very first time—a life-changing moment for health, opportunity, and dignity.

It was a surreal, unforgettable two-day event in Dromankese—joyful and full of hope. In partnership with Samaritan’s Feet Ghana, we distributed 5,500 pairs of shoes and delivered free medical care to nearly 1,000 people. Behind every smile was a story. Behind every pair of shoes, a step toward a brighter future.

Our Mobile Medical Outreach continues to expand, thanks to the arrival of life-saving medicines from Brother’s Brother Foundation, as we bring healthcare to communities once unreachable.

And across continents, compassion is building bridges of hope. The amazing students of Pine-Richland High School in Pittsburgh raised funds through their Walk for Water, which will bring clean water next month to the village of Avegborlo. We had the joy of sharing Pine-Richland merch with the community, and the smiles and gratitude from the villagers were absolutely priceless.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we are building a future filled with hope, dignity, and opportunity—one that celebrates all that is possible.

Inspirational Feedback

You are changing lives with your love and your hope and your financial support. Your life and their lives will never be the same again. And truly if you touch the heart of one person for one second and make a difference in their life, your life had meaning. I feel that if you look in the face of someone "truly" in need and help them in any way, even with a hug or a kind word, you are never the same. And I do believe that is our life's purpose. God is happy with you. You are doing all he asks of us and with kindness and gratitude. He is who we please when "whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you have done unto me." -Michelle Locke, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for your role in restoring faith in humanity. -Noorah AlSabah, London, England

Reading each email nearly brings a tear to my eye. Not only the benevolence that you have bestowed but the passion that you have to do more makes you truly a humanitarian. Thank you for continuing your tireless work but also for proving that there are great people in this world doing amazing things for others. Too often that is lost among the stories of prejudice, hate and tragedy. To the people of Ghana, you are saving lives with each drop of water, textbook and block of a schoolhouse. -Aaron Salyards, Pittsburgh, PA

When kids prefer to run to the library during a school break instead of playing with the other kids, when kids are willing to sit on the floor to read in an already overcrowded library during that break, then you know that Hope for Ghana is doing exactly the right thing in that community. -Christian Haasen, Hamburg, Germany

What a magnificent job you are accomplishing. I can't believe what has been done in the weeks you were there. This is why we are here and you have really been inspired to carry on with this work. God bless you and I do pray for you every day that God continues to enlighten you and protect you in this most beautiful project you have undertaken. The children seem so grateful they have Uncle Steve. God bless you and may he hold you in the palm of his hands. -Dee Paiano, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for sharing the pictures and videos. Your speech was very touching, sweet and straight from the heart. What you are doing is amazing. Not many people are able to help out as much as they would like to. Thanks to your efforts, you've made it possible for others to help out where they can too. Hope for Ghana is a way for others around the world to pitch in and make a difference for the kids of the future. Thank you for all your hard work. -Ezgi Muderrisoglu, Cork, Ireland
