Health Month in Ghana: Promoting Wellness Through Community Care

Trinity Foundation: Global Servants in West Africa

In West Africa, Global Servants is known locally as Trinity Foundation, a ministry that has been serving communities in Ghana for decades through education, evangelism, and community development. At Trinity Foundation Anwomaso in Kumasi, health and wellness are not just annual concerns—they are a vital part of ministry and service to others.


The Birth of Health Month

A few years ago, the church aligned with a national health initiative and expanded it into what is now known as Health Month—a dedicated time each year to focus on physical well-being, preventive care, and education for church members and the surrounding community.


Early Efforts: Screenings That Saved Lives

Over the past few years, Health Month has grown into a comprehensive outreach program addressing multiple aspects of health. It began with breast cancer screenings for women from Trinity Foundation Anwomaso, Trinity Foundation Duase Prospect, and the general public. These screenings have helped identify early-stage conditions, and those diagnosed with lumps or other concerns received support and assistance through surgery—providing both medical help and hope.

Expanding Care and Community Outreach

Building on that success, the program expanded to include eye and Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) screenings, ensuring that members and local residents had access to quality preventive care. Once again, individuals needing further medical attention or surgical procedures were guided and supported throughout their treatment process.


Health Month 2025: Education, Prevention, and Access

This year’s 2025 Health Month continued that tradition with a strong emphasis on education and accessibility. The month began with a series of health talks covering topics such as dietary wellness for the working class, eye health, and the causes and prevention of heart attacks. These sessions provided practical knowledge to empower participants to make healthier daily choices.

Expanding Access Through National Health Insurance

To conclude the month’s activities, Trinity Foundation partnered with local health officials to assist community members in renewing or enrolling in the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). This vital government program provides access to healthcare services across Ghana, and through this initiative, those whose insurance had expired—and even those who had never registered—were signed up to receive coverage.


Serving the Whole Community

The event was open to the entire community and drew an encouraging turnout from both church members and local residents. With each year, Health Month continues to strengthen the bond between Trinity Foundation and the surrounding communities, demonstrating the love of Christ through compassion, education, and service.

As one volunteer shared,


“Caring for the body is also part of caring for the soul. Through these health outreaches, we are showing God’s love in a tangible way.”

A Note from Travis Rutland


Health Month is a wonderful example of how Global Servants and our partners in Ghana are meeting both physical and spiritual needs. When we help people gain access to medical care, health insurance, and education, we’re not just improving lives—we’re sharing the hope of Christ in practical and lasting ways. I am so proud of the Trinity Foundation team for serving their community with such compassion and excellence.

—Travis Rutland, President of Global Servants

At Global Servants, we believe clean water should never be a privilege—it is a basic need and a God-given right. Through our Clean Water Initiative, we are providing families with simple yet powerful filtration systems that transform unsafe water into safe, drinkable water. How the Filtration System Works Each system uses gravity to push water through an advanced filter specifically designed to remove 99.9999% of bacteria, protozoa, and cysts, as well as 100% of microplastics. With just a standard container and a drilled opening, this system can provide safe drinking water for a family in minutes. The kit includes: A high-capacity filter Drill bit for setup Filter hanger and hose Adapters and connection pieces A backwashing device for cleaning Instruction sticker for easy care Whether families draw water from a muddy river or catch rainwater in a cistern, the system ensures harmful pathogens are removed. Even heavily contaminated water becomes safe to drink, though cleaning the filter more often is recommended when muddy water is used. Built to Last One of the most remarkable features of this system is its durability. Each filter can process up to 100,000 gallons of water, providing families in need with many months of safe drinking water. In fact, filters like these are already in use in over 100 countries. Some have been operating effectively for more than a decade.  Every filter is tested three times during the production process, sealed for safety, and individually inspected to ensure consistent quality. Extensive testing means that when we deliver a system to a family, we can trust that it will provide reliable, life-changing clean water.
