Building Sustainable Solutions: Easy Water for Everyone Hosts High-Level Roundtable on Pay-to-Fetch Model in Ghana

Jun 6

On May 13, 2025, Easy Water for Everyone hosted a high-level Round Table Conversation at the African Regent Hotel in Accra in Ghana, under the theme, "Bridging the Last-Mile Gap with Pay-to-Fetch: Sustainable Water for All." The event brought together key stakeholders from the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector to discuss the sustainability of clean water access through innovative financing.

In his remarks, Nathan W. Levin, Co-founder of Easy Water for Everyone, expressed heartfelt appreciation to donors, partners, staff, and stakeholders for their unwavering support of #EasyWater’s mission over the past decade.

“It has been a great privilege,” he stated, “as a physician specializing in kidney disease, to work alongside such remarkably dedicated individuals in the field. Partnering with you to give life, especially by helping to reduce the prevalence of diarrhea in beneficiary communities by 88%, has been profoundly fulfilling.”

Keynote Insights: Lessons from the Field
Mr. Harrison Matti, Country Director of Easy Water for Everyone, delivered a keynote presentation reflecting on two years of implementing the Pay-to-Fetch model and a decade of providing clean, potable water to last-mile communities in Ghana.

The session also featured updates from key stakeholders including the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Water Resources, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy & Religious Affairs, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Coalition of NGOs in Water & Sanitation (CONIWAS), Safe Water Network, Project Maji, Alliance for WASH Advocacy Network, Corps Africa, and Restorative Seed Society.

A Roadmap for the Future

This dialogue marks a significant milestone in Easy Water for Everyone’s journey. We are committed to expanding the Pay-to-Fetch model with a focus on:

Scaling to more communities before the end of 2025
Strategic partnerships with local and international institutions
Adopting innovative water treatment technologies
Balancing equity with sustainability

Participants opined that solving Ghana’s water access challenge through the Pay-to-Fetch Model is possible, but requires bold partnerships, policy innovation, and community involvement. The event was part of Easy Water for Everyone’s 10th Anniversary celebrations.
