Welcome to Building Solid Foundations, Inc.

Imagine a world where everyone has access to safe drinking water…and healthcare, and all the things we take for granted. Unfortunately, we don’t have that kind of world yet.

Fortunately, there are people like the Quarteys. Dr. Seth and Grace Quartey are two Pennsylvania residents who decided the dire situation in their home country, Ghana, called for action. Because of the extreme need they found there, they created Building Solid Foundations, a nonprofit organization designed to change the face of rural Ghana. Since 2003, with the help of Aldersgate United Methodist Church in York, PA, Rotary International, Lifetime Well Drilling Company in Denton, Maryland and many volunteers, BSF has:

• drilled 150 wells, bringing safe water to 120,000 people
• sent medical teams to treat malaria, parasitic diseases, tuberculosis, and AIDS, and performed reconstructive and other surgeries
• researched and begun an agricultural planting experiment
• improved sanitation conditions in and around a local hospital and school
• donated books to form the first library in a rural area
• built the area’s first playground

These children are celebrating the new well.

Join with us as we improve the lives of the thousands of people in Ghana who face death and disease, poverty and illiteracy.
Together, we can change their future.
