In our ongoing quest to improve access to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) a fundamental necessity for safe, healthy living and the socio-economic development of communities, World Vision Ghana has implemented a number of impactful interventions.

Over the past 40 years, World Vision's water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) initiatives have expanded significantly and now provide access to clean water for around 100,000 people each year.

Dawlatyar district, where World Vision operates, was among the hardest-hit areas by floods in Ghor last year. The lack of access to safe drinking water heavily impacted children like 14-year-old Majid. World Vision, in partnership with communities and leaders in Ghor, prioritised the restoration of the village’s water supply system. The rehabilitation provided access to clean water for 100 families, profoundly transforming their lives.

Saved by water’s miracles

World Vision Afghanistan restored six water supply networks, damaged by the October 2023 earthquakes, in Herat. Over 2,180 individuals across six communities have gained access to clean drinking water. Travel with us and see how the networks helped children in those communities.

Investing over USD192 million annually, World Vision has reached 28.7 million people in recent years to access cleaner water, 20.9 million to access improved sanitation, and 34.7 million to adopt safer hygiene practices.

Residents of Tsambekwako and Mlindazwe areas under the Gege Area Programme (AP) say their children now have enough time to study and no longer have frequent illnesses due to lack of access to safe water.
