The Rotary Club of Cambridge is excited to share the news about its first global grant project. Low-cost tricycle ambulances have been delivered to five communities in rural northern Ghana. These communities have not previously had any ambulance service.
We partnered with the NGO Moving Health, which began as a project by three female MIT engineering students. Moving Health manufactures the ambulances locally. The ambulances are designed to handle the region's rough terrain.
Thanks to the District for their support! We received additional funding from several clubs in the US, including Boston 7, Concord, and Bedford, as well as from Clubs/Districts in Germany and Japan. We worked with two local Rotary partners: the Rotaract Club of East Legon-Accra and the Rotary Club of Wa.
In just a few months of operation, the ambulances have saved seven lives. The power of Rotary!
