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.
