World Vision Ghana and Polytank Ghana Limited have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that promises to significantly increase access to safe water, improve sanitation and build community resilience across Ghana.

The landmark partnership was formalised at a signing ceremony where World Vision Ghana's National Director, Jean-Claude Mukadi, delivered an inspiring speech to partners, colleagues and members of the media. 

In his remarks,  Jean-Claude Mukadi emphasised the significance of the partnership: "This is a significant milestone as we come together to formalise a partnership that holds great promise for the health and well-being of countless communities across Ghana.  

 

The collaboration is more than just an agreement; it symbolises a shared commitment to improving the quality of life for underserved communities, particularly in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6, which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

By leveraging Polytank's expertise in water storage solutions and World Vision's commitment to community empowerment, the partnership aims to create a transformative impact.

Together, the two organisations plan to increase access to clean water and sanitation, promote environmental sustainability and improve public health in vulnerable communities.

Highlighting the harsh reality faced by many Ghanaians,World Vision Ghana's National Director said: "Water is life, as we often say, but for far too many people in underserved regions of our country, access to clean water remains a daily challenge. Together with Polytank, we are ready to turn these challenges into triumphs.

A key feature of the partnership is the provision and strategic distribution of 26 Polytank water storage tanks to communities, schools and health centres that are most in need of clean water solutions.

This initial investment, said Jean-Claude Mukadi, is "just the beginning" of joint efforts to make a lasting difference in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector. Through targeted initiatives, the collaboration will empower community members to take charge of their own development and contribute to a healthier and more sustainable environment.

World Vision Ghana's national Director also commended Polytank Ghana for its commitment to corporate social responsibility. 

"Polytank Ghana has demonstrated a deep commitment not only to its business but also to the communities it serves," he noted. The partnership, he said, embodies the idea that pooling resources, expertise and compassion can amplify impact far beyond what individual efforts could achieve.

The ceremony concluded with a call to action for all present, as he urged continued commitment to this shared mission. "While this partnership begins with clean water, its impact goes far beyond. It touches the dreams, health and potential of children, families and entire communities," he said.

The partnership between World Vision Ghana and Polytank Ghana will pave the way for meaningful, lasting change, ensuring that more Ghanaians have access to the vital resources they need to live healthy, dignified lives.
