Marian once walked miles for water. Today, she walks towards her future.
In many parts of Africa, women and girls remain among the most vulnerable in society. This is not an illusion; it is the reality in villages across Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda.
In a typical rural community, fetching water is the daily responsibility of women and girls. They trek long distances, often to contaminated sources, carrying the heavy burden of survival on their shoulders.
Such was the story of 16-year-old Marian. Day after day, she spent hours searching for water instead of focusing on school and her dreams. But everything changed when Easy Water for Everyone (EWfE) brought clean, safe water to her village.
Today, Marian no longer worries about diseases or wasting precious hours fetching water. With our gravity water station nearby, she now has time to learn, grow, and thrive.
When clean water flows, life flows, bringing health, hope, and opportunity.
Let’s continue raising awareness so more girls like Marian can have the chance to dream beyond survival. Together, we can rewrite the story of water for thousands of women and girls.
Ending Child Deaths: Your Support Still Matters
In many parts of the world, a glass of water brings refreshment. In others, it brings disease or even death.
Diarrhea remains one of the leading killers of children under five, claiming over 400,000 young lives globally each year. The majority of these deaths, more than half, occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, where access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene remains dangerously limited.
Juliana Amanfi, a 22-year-old nursing mother living in a village near Kwaku Bodomkrom in Ghana’s Asutifi North District (Ahafo Region), knows this struggle firsthand.
She recounts the heart-wrenching story of how her one-year-old baby fought to survive chronic diarrhoea caused by contaminated water.
“I used to fetch water from an open borehole, left at the mercy of the weather, to cook and bathe my child. The effect on my son was unimaginable—especially with no medical facility nearby,” she said, her voice heavy with emotion.
Relief came when we intervened with a much-needed solution. Today, Juliana and her baby’s story has changed. With access to clean, potable water, her child is no longer at risk of developing chronic water-related illnesses.
According to UNICEF and WHO, more than 1 in 13 children in Sub-Saharan Africa die before their fifth birthday, many from preventable, waterborne diseases like diarrhea. It’s a heartbreaking reality in a world where clean water and treatment solutions already exist.
At Easy Water for Everyone (EWfE), we believe that no child should suffer or die because of the water they drink. For over a decade, we have delivered scientifically validated water filtration technology to some of the most underserved, off-grid communities across Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda.
Our technology doesn’t just provide water; it protects lives. Children who once battled chronic diarrhea are now healthy, back in school, and thriving. Parents who feared the worst now watch their children grow strong, all because clean water flows safely from our device.
But our work is far from done. Thousands of nursing mothers still rely on contaminated sources for their drinking water.
Your support can help us reach them, with the technology they need not just to survive, but to live well.
Behind every child lost to dirty water is a family in mourning. We can prevent the next death. Partner with us today. Help us save lives.
Financing WASH in Last-Mile Communities: Rethinking Partnerships in a Changing Donor Landscape
As the current donor landscape and national policy increasingly emphasize cost recovery, water services can no longer be provided entirely for free. However, this shift presents significant challenges in last-mile communities, where the realities on the ground make revenue collection difficult.
In many of these underserved areas, some households can afford to pay for water, but many cannot. Schools and health facilities also expect to access water either for free or at highly subsidized rates. This raises a critical question: Who pays for water for schools, health facilities, and households that genuinely cannot afford it?
Stakeholder Workshop: A Call to Rethink WASH Financing
To address this pressing issue, Easy Water for Everyone (EWfE), in partnership with the Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS) and the Health Promotion Division of the Ghana Health Service, hosted a high-level stakeholder workshop under the theme: "Financing WASH in Last-Mile Communities: Rethinking Partnerships in a Changing Donor Landscape."
The event took place on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at the Sunlodge Hotel in Accra, as part of Ghana's WASH Week celebrations.
Keynote Reflections
Delivering the keynote address, Harrison Matti, Chief Operating Officer of EWfE, shared reflections from over a decade of operations. He highlighted the impact of EWfE’s clean water interventions while emphasizing the growing funding gap and revenue generation challenges affecting the sustainability of WASH programs in remote areas.
“Non-profit organizations operating in these areas are therefore confronted with sustainability issues. Without adequate revenue from user fees, it becomes difficult to maintain water systems and ensure uninterrupted service delivery,” he observed.
He noted that while some District Assemblies, particularly in the Ahafo Region, have contributed to capital expenditures for water infrastructure, there remains a significant gap in funding for schools and those who cannot afford them.
Expanding the Conversation
Suzzy Abaidoo, a representative of the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Water Resources, shared that the ministry plans to establish a national technical group to broaden WASH dialogue and include non-water sector actors in policymaking.
Meanwhile, Gladys Gbadagbali from the Health Promotion Division (GHS) emphasized the importance of linking WASH with health interventions:
“Advocacy for collaboration on WASH and health programs is essential to improving health outcomes, reducing disease burdens, and building resilient health systems, particularly in fragile and humanitarian contexts,” she stated.
Key Takeaways and Action Points
The dialogue produced several strategic recommendations, reaffirming EWfE’s commitment to innovative, inclusive, and community-led solutions. Notable takeaways include:
Advocating for a portion of the 10% District Assembly Common Fund allocated for Water to be earmarked for maintaining community water systems.
Scaling the Pay-to-Fetch model as a sustainable, community-driven financing mechanism.
Conducting deeper affordability and ability-to-pay assessments before implementing new projects.
Strengthening collaboration with District Assemblies in project planning, implementation, and oversight.
Encouraging CONIWAS to lead the development of a national framework that clearly defines “last-mile communities” for policy and funding purposes.
Partnering with faith-based organizations to support project outreach and delivery.
Exploring smart investment strategies to reduce over-reliance on revenues generated at the community level.
Broad-Based Participation
This high-level engagement convened a diverse group of stakeholders, including representatives from the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Water Resources, Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy & Religious Affairs, Skyfox Ltd, IRC, Saha Global, Janok Foundation, Water and Sanitation for Urban Populations, ProNet North, Ghana WASH Journalists Network (GWJN), and Le Korsa.
A Call for Global Support
As the donor landscape evolves, organizations like EWfE is adapting through smarter partnerships, data-driven models, and sustainable financing strategies. But we cannot do this alone.
We call on global donors, development partners, and advocates to join us in ensuring that no community is left behind. Together, we can

World Population Day: Empowering Youth, Shaping Futures with Clean Water
As the world marks World Population Day 2025 on July 11 under the theme “Empowering Youth, Shaping Futures”, the urgency to address clean water access for young people in rural Africa has never been greater.
Across the continent, over 400 million people still lack basic access to drinking water, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This crisis hits children and youth the hardest. In many rural communities, contaminated water sources contribute to high rates of diarrhea, typhoid, and schistosomiasis, illnesses that are among the leading causes of child mortality in Africa. Additionally, drinking contaminated water leads to numerous developmental issues affecting both the mind and body.
But access to clean water is more than a health issue; it’s a foundation for education, empowerment, and opportunity.
At Easy Water for Everyone (EWfE), we believe that shaping the future begins with securing the present. For the past 10 years, we have worked across Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda to deliver sustainable, safe water solutions to the last-mile communities often overlooked. Through our Gravity Water Stations, powered by simple, electricity-free filtration technology, we have provided over 30,000 people with pur water, most of them children and women.
We know that when clean water flows, possibilities follow. Girls stay in school instead of walking miles for water. Young children are no longer sidelined by waterborne diseases. And women who are often primary caregivers can spend more time investing in their families and communities.
In celebration of this year’s theme, we reaffirm our commitment to shaping the next generation through dignity, health, and hope, one clean drop at a time.
✅ Join the Movement
This World Population Day, your support can help us reach even more children and empower rural youth with the gift of clean water.
Clean water doesn’t just quench thirst, it fuels futures.

From Flooded Ruins to Restored Hope: Thanks to Your Generosity
It has been over two years since the catastrophic spillage from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams submerged homes and scattered lives along the Volta River in Ghana. For many victims, the flood marked not an end, but a beginning of hardship. Though the waters have long receded, the battle to rebuild homes, livelihoods, and hope continues. Today, many still endure the searing heat in unfinished buildings and wait on promises that feel as fleeting as the floodwaters themselves.
But amidst the devastation, one story stands out, a story of resilience, intervention, and transformation.
Patricia Owula, a 51-year resident of Kewuse in the Ada East District of Ghana’s Greater Accra Region, lost her home entirely. Her only refuge was a makeshift shelter cobbled together from the wreckage of her former house. With no stable income and nowhere to turn, Patricia’s future looked bleak.
“I nearly committed suicide, looking at how the flood had crushed my house to the ground,” she recalls, voice heavy with memory.
Patricia’s situation, however, did not deter her commitment to serving her community. As a dedicated backwasher responsible for maintaining the Gravity Water Station (GWS) installed by Easy Water for Everyone, she continued to ensure access to clean, potable water, even as she battled homelessness.
Recognizing her courage and commitment, Easy Water for Everyone launched a targeted fundraising campaign to support Patricia. Her resilience moved many, and thanks to generous donors like you, we are proud to announce that Patricia now has a new home.
During our 10th Anniversary Celebration in Ghana, we officially handed over the keys to Patricia’s newly built one-bedroom house. The moment was shared with our co-founders, Dr. Nathan W. Levin and Linda L. Donald, who both expressed their joy and gratitude.
“What happened to them was really devastating,” said Linda Donald. “So we fundraised for this to happen, and we are so happy to see Patricia smiling again.”
At Easy Water for Everyone, empowering women and the most vulnerable members of our beneficiary communities is at the heart of our mission. Patricia’s story is a powerful reminder that hard work, compassion, and community can rebuild even the most broken of foundations.
When Science Meets Impact: He Came to Study. He Left Inspired.
As part of our 10th Anniversary celebration, Easy Water for Everyone welcomed Kyle Rezek, an environmental engineer from the U.S., to Ghana. Kyle joined us to study and research into the water quality produced by our filtration systems, and to experience the real-life transformation happening in our beneficiary communities.
In this video, Kyle shares his on-the-ground experience across both island and inland villages. His findings confirm what we've long believed: our solution works, and it transforms lives.
At the heart of our impact is the NUF500 filtration system, made from repurposed hemodialyzers. Our technology removes bacteria, viruses, pathogens, and other harmful impurities without the need for electricity. This makes it ideal for remote, off-grid communities in Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda.
The results speak for themselves:
Healthier households
Improved school attendance
Reduced medical costs
Backed by science and trusted by the communities we serve, our Gravity Water Stations are helping us deliver on our mission.
Watch Kyle’s Story. Share the Impact. Donate to support our impact!
Together, we’re proving that clean water is not just a right, it’s a reality we can deliver.
Unveiling AquaCare Solutions: The Power Behind Easy Water's Pay-to-Fetch Policy
In many remote communities across Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda, access to safe drinking water isn’t just about infrastructure, it’s about sustainability. Our mission has always been to provide clean, reliable water to those in need. But after a decade of impact, we’ve learned a vital lesson: ensuring access is one thing; sustaining it is another.
That is why, two years ago, we launched the Pay-to-Fetch Model, an innovative, community-centered solution designed to keep clean water flowing long after installation. This modest, community-managed water contribution system allows community members to pay a token to help maintain the system. These contributions cover essential costs such as operations and maintenance (O&M), caretaker stipends, and minor repairs.
This self-sustaining model fosters community ownership, accountability, and long-term resilience. And as the demand for clean water continues to grow, we remain committed to scaling our operations responsibly and sustainably.
Introducing AquaCare Solutions
To support this goal, we’re excited to announce the restructuring and renaming of our technical department to AquaCare Solutions. This strategic shift is aimed at streamlining our technical operations and ensuring the long-term functionality and sustainability of our Gravity Water Stations (GWS).
Harrison Matti, Country Director of #EasyWater, stated: "While our technical department has successfully trained individuals across Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda to manage our Gravity Water Stations over the years, AquaCare Solutions will now be branded as the engine driving our next phase of impact and expansion. This group has been checking the NUF500 filtration devices since May of 2015, as required by the IRS for compliance with Easy Water for Everyone’s 501 c 3 status in the USA. Repair data has been collected and studied for 10 years, illustrating the superb, low-cost performance of the NUF500.
Objectives of AquaCare Solutions:
Deliver efficient, low cost and reliable O&M services across all GWS sites
Achieve financial sustainability, targeting 50% self-funding through the Pay-to-Fetch model and maintenance subscriptions
Strengthen transparency and decision-making through structured reporting systems
Looking Ahead: Every Drop Sustains a Dream
As we look to the future, our goal is bold yet clear: to reach every unreached community with clean, safe water. With AquaCare Solutions and the Pay-to-Fetch model in motion, we are now better equipped to grow both sustainably and impactfully.
We look forward to sharing more about this exciting new chapter and the progress it will unlock. Let’s do it together.

Honoring a Decade of Impact: Easy Water for Everyone Co-Founders Enstooled as Development Chief and Queen in Ghana
In an unforgettable climax to Easy Water for Everyone’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, co-founders Nathan W. Levin and Linda Donald were honored with one of Ghana’s highest cultural accolades—enstoolment as Development Chief and Queen Mother of Pediatokorpe in Ada East, Greater Accra Region.
While Nathan was rightly enstooled and outdoored with the stool name “Nene Pakporm Nyukpakpa Noryami Mantse,” Linda was enstooled with the stool name “Naana Pakporm Nyukpakpa Noryami Manye”. To wit, Ada Islands Water and Health Development Chief and Queen.
This remarkable recognition wasn’t just ceremonial—it was the heartfelt expression of a grateful community, celebrating a decade of partnership, transformation, and life-saving impact through clean, safe water.
In Ghana, the title of "Development Chief or Queen Mother" is a formal honor bestowed upon distinguished individuals who have significantly contributed to local development. They act as a bridge between traditional authority and modern development initiatives. They play a key role in promoting social cohesion, advocating for community needs, and encouraging national programs and development projects.
A Celebration of Legacy and Love
The colorful durbar, held on Tuesday, May 12, 2025, brought together the Member of Parliament for Ada, Hon. Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe-Ghansah, traditional leaders, health officials, schoolchildren, and opinion leaders to pay tribute to the organization’s 10-year journey. Cultural performances, traditional music, and dancing filled the air, symbolizing the deep connection between Easy Water for Everyone and beneficiary communities.
Community leaders spoke with emotion and admiration, hailing Nathan and Linda’s unwavering commitment to providing potable water and restoring dignity to some of Ghana’s most vulnerable communities.
Water that Saves Lives
The Medical Superintendent of the Ada East District Hospital, Dr. Philip Narh, provided a powerful testimony about the critical role #EasyWater played during the Akosombo Dam spillage disaster in October 2023, which displaced thousands and sparked a cholera outbreak. He revealed that Pediatorkorpe and other island communities equipped with Easy Water filtration devices, remained safe and largely untouched by the crisis. Even more inspiring, he noted a significant decrease in diarrhea cases in all areas served by the organization. “This is not just about water,” Dr. Narh remarked. “It’s about health, hope, and resilience. Easy Water has changed the course of public health in this district.”
A Vision with a Heart
Also present at the event was Hon. Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe-Ghansah, Member of Parliament for Ada, who shared her admiration for Nathan and Linda. “They have given us more than water—they have given us love, time, and the will to push forward,” she said. She pledged her commitment to support #EasyWater in providing safe water to more communities within the constituency.
Nathan and Linda, visibly moved by the honor, expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the chiefs and people of Pediatorkorpe. They reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to expanding Easy Water’s impact across Ghana. “This is an honor and way beyond our expectations, but we deserve it. This is a big surprise, and we do accept it with our whole heart. Thank you all very much,” Linda added.
A New Chapter Begins
As we reflect on a decade of impact, this cultural honor is not just a reward—it is a call to do more, reach farther, and build stronger partnerships in the years ahead. With momentum building and trust deepening, the next decade promises to deliver even greater frontiers in water accessibility, community empowerment, and public health.
The people of Pediatorkorpe and the other island communities have spoken—not only with titles, but with their hearts. They have crowned Nathan and Linda not just as leaders, but as family.
Here's to 10 years of clean water, dignity, and hope—and to the many more years to come.

A Gratifying Tale of Health and Hope: How Clean Water is Giving the Elderly a New Lease on Life
In the quiet island village of Agbokapanya in the Ada East District of Ghana, 62-year-old Mr. Jacob Narteh Otutey finds something many pensioners can only dream of—peace, health, and dignity in retirement.
Across many communities, the elderly remain one of the most vulnerable and overlooked groups. Often left out of public policy decisions and health interventions, they are quietly sidelined despite a lifetime of contribution to society. Yet, it is in these later years that they deserve the most care, compassion, and comfort. Mr. Otutey’s story is a heartening reminder of what happens when that care is finally given.
A First Encounter That Changed Everything
On his recent visit to Agbokapanya, Mr. Otutey came face to face with a piece of technology he never imagined would be part of his retirement journey—Easy Water for Everyone’s advanced water filtration system. What began as curiosity turned into awe. “It was shocking to observe the almost instant purification of seriously contaminated river water into safe drinking water,” he recalls.
Having lived almost his entire life drinking safe water in the city, this moment in the village was nothing short of hope and dignity in retirement.
From Risk to Relief
For residents of Agbokapanya, river water has long been the default—despite its potential to cause waterborne diseases like bilharzia. But with Easy Water’s Gravity Water station in place, Mr. Otutey could see and feel the difference. The clear, clean water wasn’t just a visual relief—it was a lifesaving change. “The river water is dangerous,” he says. “But this new water is safe. I see it. I feel it. I know it.”
He didn’t keep this revelation to himself. Moved by the impact of the clean water, Mr. Otutey took it upon himself to advocate within the community, urging families to stop using contaminated sources and embrace this new standard of living.
Health, Strength, and the Joy of Retirement
Today, Mr. Otutey enjoys his retirement with renewed strength and peace of mind. He no longer worries about water fetching or illness. The burden of survival has been replaced by the simple joy of living.“Thanks to Easy Water for Everyone, I am enjoying my retirement in peace,” he says with a smile that speaks volumes.
Not Just a Story—A Testament
For nearly a decade, Easy Water for Everyone has been providing innovative, sustainable water solutions to communities in need. While much of the spotlight often falls on women and children, Mr. Otutey’s experience shows that the elderly, too, are being empowered—one purified drop at a time.

From Contamination to Purity: Juliet’s Inspiring Leap Towards a Brighter Future
The expression on 15-year-old Juliet Attah’s face says it all—relief, hope, and the joy of a new beginning. A student of Pediatorkorpe Junior High School in Ghana’s Ada East District, Juliet still remembers what life was like before Easy Water for Everyone arrived.
“We used to walk long distances to fetch water from the Volta River—even though it was polluted and shared with animals. We had no choice. Many of my friends missed school because they were constantly sick with water-related diseases.”
For Juliet and many children in her community, the search for clean water was not only exhausting—it was dangerous. The lack of safe drinking water threatened their health, their education, and their future.
But that all changed with the installation of Easy Water for Everyone’s water filtration system right near her school.
“It was a game-changer,” Juliet says. “It ended an age-old problem in my community, especially for girls like me. Now, we have clean water to drink, right here.”
With our signature blue gallons—designed to prevent contamination—Juliet and her classmates are learning to store and use water safely. They are no longer victims of unsafe water, but proud advocates for hygiene and clean water.
“Thanks to Easy Water, I am healthier, I go to school every day, and I now teach others how to protect our water. I feel empowered.”
Thousands of Futures Transformed.
Juliet’s story is one of over 30,000 lives changed across 40+ communities in Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda. Behind this success is a water filtration technology inspired by medical innovation and brought to life by Dr. Nathan W. Levin, a globally respected nephrologist, and co-founder Linda Donald.
Together with partners and donors like you, we are not just delivering clean water—we are building brighter futures for women and children, one village at a time.
Help Us Reach More Juliets
As we mark 10 years of impact, we invite you to be part of the next chapter. Thousands still drink from unsafe sources. Many girls still miss school because of waterborne illness.
Let’s change that—together.
Every sip saves a future. Every drop counts.
Transforming Healthcare at Peadiatorkorpe Health Centre: The Impact of Easy Water for Everyone
Every year on April 7, the world comes together to celebrate World Health Day, a moment to reflect on global health challenges and solutions. This year’s theme, "Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures," focuses on enhancing the health and survival of mothers and newborns, raising awareness about preventable maternal and infant deaths.
For mothers and babies across Africa, a healthy beginning starts with something often taken for granted elsewhere—clean water. At Easy Water for Everyone, we recognize that access to safe, potable water in healthcare facilities is not just about convenience; it is about saving lives.
In Peadiatorkorpe, a small but vital health center serves as a lifeline for expectant mothers, newborns, and the surrounding communities. However, for years, the lack of clean potable water posed a serious threat to the health and survival of patients, particularly mothers and infants. Without safe water, medical staff struggled to maintain hygiene, newborns were at risk of infections, and simple medical procedures carried unnecessary dangers.
That changed when Easy Water for Everyone stepped in.
Providing Clean Water: A Lifeline for Maternal and Infant Health
In line with our mission, we installed a safe and sustainable water filtration system at Peadiatorkorpe Health Centre, ensuring that medical professionals and patients have access to clean water. The impact has been life-changing:
✅ Safer Deliveries for Mothers & Newborns – With access to clean water, midwives can maintain proper hygiene during childbirth, reducing the risk of infections.
✅ Reduced Infant Mortality – Our solution ensures that newborns receive proper care, including clean feeding practices and sterile medical conditions.
✅ Improved Infection Control – Medical staff can now properly wash their hands, sterilize equipment, and maintain a hygienic environment for patient care.
✅ Better Postnatal and Pediatric Care – Mothers and babies can stay hydrated and healthy, reducing cases of dehydration-related complications.
✅ Healthier Community Outcomes – The over 20 island communities benefit as the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid is significantly reduced.
With the installation of clean water at Peadiatorkorpe Health Centre, we are not just improving healthcare; we are saving lives and securing hopeful futures for mothers, infants, and the entire community.
Together, We Can Secure tomorrow
At Easy Water for Everyone, we believe that clean water is a right, not a privilege. And with your continued support, we can extend this life-saving impact to even more health centers across Ghana and beyond.
💙 Join us in our mission—support, donate, and help ensure every mother and child has access to safe, clean water!

Easy Water Marks World Water Day 2025 with Community Celebration
Every year on March 22, the world comes together to celebrate World Water Day, a global initiative that highlights the importance of freshwater and promotes sustainable water management. This observance plays a crucial role in addressing the global water crisis and advancing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which seeks to ensure water and sanitation for all by 2030.
To mark this year’s World Water Day 2025, Easy Water for Everyone celebrated with the residents of Tomefa, a fishing community in Ghana’s Greater Accra region. The choice of location was symbolic—Tomefa is home to the organization’s largest gravity water station in Africa, a lifeline providing safe, reliable water to hundreds of households.
A Celebration of Culture and Clean Water
The event coincided with Ghana Day at Tomefa M/A Basic School, where students showcased the richness of Ghanaian heritage through traditional attire, drumming, dance, and poetry. The colorful ceremony beautifully intertwined cultural pride with water advocacy, reinforcing the message that clean water is essential for health, education, and community development.
Advocacy for Clean Water and Hygiene
Rev. Seth Johnson, Vice President of Easy Water for Everyone, addressed the gathering, urging parents to prioritize clean water for their children to prevent waterborne diseases. He emphasized proper usage and maintenance of the gravity water station to ensure its longevity. He took the opportunity to acknowledge the founders of Easy Water for Everyone, Dr Nathan Levin and Linda Donald for their vision, not forgetting donors and partners.
Similarly, Mr. Harrison Matti, Country Director of Easy Water for Everyone, reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to expanding its reach in 2025. He called on individuals and corporate organizations to support initiatives that protect vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, by ensuring access to clean water.
Empowering Girls Through Water Access
A highlight of the event was a session led by Nana Ama Agyeiwaa, a renowned clean water advocate, who educated students on the importance of personal hygiene. She emphasized best hygiene practices for girls, particularly during menstruation, made easier by the availability of clean water. Her message reinforced the connection between sanitation, education, and overall well-being.
Transforming Lives Through Water Accessibility
Speaking at the sidelines of the event, Madam Linda Aboagye, Headmistress of Tomefa M/A Basic School, underscored the positive impact of Easy Water for Everyone’s intervention. “With your support, students now arrive at school on time because they no longer have to walk long distances to fetch water,” she noted. This improvement has enhanced students' learning experiences and overall school attendance.
Commitment to Water Awareness
Through events like these, Easy Water for Everyone continues to champion access to clean water, ensuring that communities are educated and empowered to make the most of available resources. As the organization looks ahead to further expansion and advocacy in 2025, it remains dedicated to making safe water a reality for all.
Join us in our mission to bring clean water to more communities. Together, we can create a healthier, more sustainable future.
WORLD WATER DAY: Transforming Lives with Clean Water for a Healthier FuturE
Access to clean water is not just a luxury—it is a lifeline. Through our collective efforts, we have been able to save countless children under the age of five from preventable diseases like cholera, dysentery, and diarrhea. By ensuring communities have access to clean water, we are not only improving health outcomes but also empowering people to build a better future.
One inspiring example comes from Elizabeth Quaye, a teacher at Alorkpeim D/A Basic School in Ghana. In a heartfelt video, Elizabeth shares how access to clean water has profoundly transformed the lives of her students. Not only has the health of the children improved, but so has their school attendance, focus, and overall well-being. The ripple effect of clean water has brought hope and opportunity to this remote village, and it’s just one of many success stories across Ghana and the rest of Africa.
