Bringing a wave of change to the education system….
In the rural setting of the outskirts of the town of Yendi in Northern Ghana, the transformative power of water was about to combine forces with cutting-edge mobile technology to bring a wave of change to the education system. Water for West Africa (WfWA), in collaboration with Harding University, COSTECH (College of Science and Technology) and the Ghana Education Service, embarked on a remarkable initiative to improve computer access in Yendi’s rural schools.
Recognizing the vital role of technology in empowering the next generation, the partners set their sights on bridging the digital divide that had long plagued these remote communities. With determination, they embarked on a mission to bring computers training and internet connectivity to schools that had previously been overlooked.
Water for West Africa, an organization renowned for its sustainable water solutions, realized that their extensive network of clean water systems could serve as the backbone for this endeavor. They harnessed the existing infrastructure to provide reliable power sources and temporary Wi-Fi internet connectivity to the schools.

Together with COSTECH, Harding University and the Ghana Education Service, they transformed classrooms into mobile hubs of digital learning. Students, once restricted by geographical limitations, now had the world at their fingertips. They embraced the opportunity with eagerness, diving into the vast sea of knowledge that awaited them.
Through this partnership, West Africa’s rural schools are improving. Students acquired crucial digital literacy skills, unlocking new avenues of knowledge, and fostering creativity. The ripple effect was felt throughout the community, inspiring hope, and creating a brighter future for generations to come.
As the sun set over Yendi in Northern Ghana, the partnership stood as a shining example of what can be achieved when water, technology, and education converge. And so, the story of Water for West Africa, COSTECH, and the Ghana Education Service is becoming a beacon of progress, forever etched in the annals of rural development.
