Community Partnership Board and Cornell University
The Community Partnership Board, with the Coalition of Pan African Scholars is attempting to raise funding to assist flood relief in Northern Ghana and to repair water systems in the Northern Region of Ghana. Floods ravaged the Northern and Upper West Regions on Ghana in September of 2007. As a result over 100 boreholes were damaged, hundreds of latrines were destroyed and thousands of people left homeless. The damage has resulted in longer term problems, with the water and sanitation sector in particular being severely affected. Several dams, which were the main source of water for some communities were either damaged or completed destroyed. The Community Partnership Board is working with student groups in various parts of the USA to collect funds to help repair the damage. They hope to also send a group of student volunteers to help during the first part of 2008.
