World Vision and Interplast Ghana Tackle WASH Challenges Together
By Vivian Adu, Communications Officer
In a strategic move to strengthen private sector collaboration and drive sustainable development, World Vision Ghana has secured Gifts-in-Kind (GIK) support from Interplast Ghana to advance the NSUPA WASH Facilities Project. The NSUPA Model is an innovative, home-grown solution designed to provide a safe and sustainable water services to communities, institutions, and households. The system includes a submersible pump with accessories, Solar modules mounted on a 4-meter concrete tower, a 10,000-liter storage tank, an HDPE pipe network and civil works, including standpipes and a permanent handwashing station.
By leveraging solar energy, the NSUPA Model ensures efficient water supply while promoting sustainability in vulnerable communities.
The partnership solidified by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) underscores Interplast’s commitment to community development through impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Interplast Ghana, West Africa’s leading producer of plastic pipe systems, has been a key player in the industry since 1970, supplying high-quality products to over 22 African countries. As part of this collaboration, Interplast has donated HDPE/UPVC pipes and fittings to support the construction of a modified NSUPA solar-powered mechanised water system.
A Partnership for Impact
Speaking at the MoU signing, Jean-Claude Mukadi, National Director of World Vision Ghana, highlighted the importance of the collaboration in addressing water access challenges.
“Despite our efforts, research indicates that between 30 to 40 percent of WASH facilities in Africa are either non-functional or operate below capacity due to poor design, inadequate construction, and management challenges. This partnership with Interplast Ghana will help address some of these technical barriers, ensuring that more communities have access to clean, safe water” Jean-Claude Mukadi explained.
Building a Brighter Future
Building a Brighter Future With operations in 14 of Ghana's 16 regions, World Vision Ghana continues to impact approximately 100,000 people annually by improving access to clean water, in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 to ensure safe water and sanitation for all.
The collaboration between World Vision Ghana and Interplast Ghana signals a shared commitment to building resilient communities, where every child and family has access to clean water and improved sanitation.
As both organizations look forward to a long-term partnership, this initiative marks an important step in transforming lives and promoting sustainable development across Ghana.
