Eight Villages Now Have Clean Water — A Community Transformed
Before our water project reached the village of Koforidua in rural Ghana, the women and girls there walked 6 kilometers every day to collect water. The water they brought home was often contaminated. Waterborne diseases were common. Children missed school. Women couldn't pursue other work.
Today, Koforidua has a clean water pump 200 meters from the village center.
The Impact So Far
Our Clean Water Initiative has now installed water purification systems in 8 villages across Ghana, serving a combined population of 12,400 people. The results have been transformative:
- •94% reduction in waterborne disease cases in served villages
- •Girls' school attendance increased by 42% (no longer spending hours collecting water)
- •Women reporting 3+ additional hours per day for income-generating activities
- •$0 ongoing cost to villages — community maintenance committees trained and operational
The Technology
We use a combination of borehole wells, hand pumps, and solar-powered purification units depending on each village's geography and needs. All systems are designed for 20+ year lifespans with minimal maintenance.
What's Next
We have identified 14 additional villages in Ghana and 8 in Mali that are in urgent need of clean water access. With your support, we can reach all of them within 18 months.
Your donation today could provide clean water for life to one person for approximately $50.
