Our Vision
Transforming Lives, Building Hope in our communities
Conuam is a dedicated organization committed to making a difference in the lives of the impoverished communities of Ghana, West Africa. Our mission is rooted in the belief that access to basic resources, such as clean water, healthcare and education is a fundamental right that can transform communities and build a foundation for a brighter future.
At Conuam our mission is clear: to bring positive and sustainable change to the lives of those living in poverty in Ghana. We focus on three critical pillars—clean water, healthcare and education because we understand that these are the cornerstones for healthier, more resilient communities.
What We Do:
Clean Water Initiatives: Access to clean water is a human right, yet millions in Ghana lack this basic necessity. Conuam is dedicated to implementing water projects that provide sustainable sources of clean water to communities in need. From wells and boreholes to water purification systems, we work tirelessly to ensure that every individual has access to safe and clean drinking water
Healthcare Outreach Programs: Good health is the foundation of a thriving community. Our healthcare initiatives focus on providing essential medical services like preventive care, maternity and pediatric services and health education to those who lack access. We collaborate with local healthcare providers to bring medical professionals and resources directly to the heart of impoverished communities.
Education Empowerment: Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. We are committed to providing educational resources and opportunities to marginalized youth in Ghana. By offering access to quality education, we aim to empower the youth, especially those at risk of teen pregnancy and juvenile delinquency due to idleness. Education not only opens doors to future opportunities but also plays a crucial role in preventing social challenges.

Awal Mohammed, the Executive Secretary of Conuam Foundation International, embodies a tapestry of experiences and commitments aimed at uplifting underprivileged rural communities in Ghana. Awal's journey began amidst the rich cultural fabric of Adekurom Nima a small yet lively town in rural Kumasi. It was the formative years spent at Nasuru Deen Islamic School that instilled in him a deep-seated commitment to service, eventually leading him to serve as an assistant Islamic teacher for years.
Mr. Mohammed served as a Security officer at the Ghana High Commission and later as the Chief Security Officer at the Lagos consulate. It was during his time as Deputy Campaign Manager for the ruling party's director of finance and administration that Awal's acumen for strategic leadership shone brightly, laying the foundation for his current role as the Political Assistant to the Deputy Managing Director at Ghana Water Limited.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Awal's commitment to his roots is exemplified by his chieftaincy in the village of Kadia—a testament to his deep-seated connection to the communities he serves. As the Executive Secretary of Conuam Foundation International, Awal's vision for a better, more equitable future resonates deeply with the mission to provide basic resources such as clean drinking water and healthcare to marginalized rural communities like Kadia, where poor water conditions persist.
