The Dreams of Children Flow Where Clean Water Goes
Access to safe and clean water is a fundamental right, yet many basic schools in Ghana continue to struggle without it. According to UNICEF, nearly 3 in 10 basic schools in Ghana lack access to safe drinking water, forcing children to rely on unsafe sources. The effects are dire: waterborne diseases such as diarrhea and typhoid contribute significantly to absenteeism, malnutrition, and poor academic performance.
At Easy Water for Everyone (EWfE), we believe every child deserves a future unhindered by the burden of unsafe water. Through our innovative gravity-fed water filtration systems, we are transforming the lives of thousands of schoolchildren across Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda. Our interventions have not only reduced waterborne diseases by up to 88% in beneficiary villages, but also given back precious classroom hours to students.
In the attached video, Ibrahim Haruna, a teacher at Pediatorkorpe Basic School on one of the estuary islands off the coast of Ada in the Greater Accra Region, draws a clear distinction between life before and after EWfE’s intervention. He shares how the Gravity Water Station has drastically improved the health of the children, increased school attendance, and brought lasting relief to the wider community. His testimony is a living reminder of the change clean water brings.

This work is directly contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), ensuring that children in even the most remote schools, such as this island community, can learn, grow, and dream without the fear of contaminated water.
But there is still more to do. Many schools are still waiting. Many children are still at risk.
👉Join us in this mission. Together, we can make access to clean water in every school in Ghana a reality. This has been part of our mission for the past 10 years and will continue to be for the next 10 years. Partner with EWfE today, because no child should have to choose between education and safe drinking water.
