Clean Water, Brighter Futures: Reshaping Education in West Africa

An incredible transformation has occurred in the community of Kuni, located near the Togo Border in Northern Ghana. Water for West Africa, Healing Hands International, and local churches have joined forces to bring clean water to the Kuni community, especially to the children at Kuni Primary and Jr High School.

Clean water transforms education creating long lasting opportunities

By reducing the burden of water collection, clean water improves student health, enhances focus, and frees up time for learning. This leads to greater gender equality and increased safety for girls. The impact of clean water on education is profound, with lasting benefits for entire communities.

Clean Water Changes Everything

Before, children spent hours fetching water from distant sources, often arriving to class tired and distracted. Before having access to safe water, children would rise early to take the 2-mile trek to the Oti River. For young girls, the trek can be dangerous.

Clean Water is a Blessing

But now, in Kuni, with a new well at the school, students have clean, safe water at their fingertips, for the kids at the school, clean water is a fantastic blessing! It means they don’t have to spend their days walking for hours every day to get dirty water from the Oti River. Instead, they now have clean water right at their school. This clean water is empowering and hopeful for their studies and health.

Through God’s provision of clean water, students are healthier, more focused and filled with hope for a brighter future
