Water and Sanitation
The Clean Water for Rural Communities (CWRC)
Even though access to water in Ghana has improved significantly, nevertheless in some communities in the Volta Region, these services continue to be a luxury for large parts of the rural population. This also is reflected at schools in most of the communities. Many educational institutions do not have tap water or any sanitary installations. According to Unicef, one person out of every ten has to spend more than 30 minutes to access an improved source of drinking water. Another 11 per cent of the population, still drink from surface and other unsafe water sources(Unicef). The 6th goal of sustainable development is to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Our Clean Water Project(CWP) aims to contribute to achieving universal and equitable access to safe drinking water for all through improved health and well-being in rural communities in the Volta Region by increasing water supply and sanitation access and the adoption of good hygiene practices in an equitable and sustainable manner. The goal of the project is to contribute, in
partnership with other development agencies, to improving water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials.
Objectives;
- Raise awareness and provide training/education on water consumption and water pollution and their impact on health.
- Promote the use of good water treatment methods to treat drinking water at the point-of-use in order to reduce vulnerability of children and mothers, as well as the rest of the family members to water borne disease and other infectious diseases.
- Encourage Community initiatives for WASH activities.
- Generate demand for sanitation facilities in schools and communities.
