OUR STRATEGIES

Our mission is to partner with the people of West Africa to provide sustainable solutions for clean water, healthy living, education, and the message of God’s love.

Clean Water

In summary, WASH programs in West Africa have transformative power that extends beyond health benefits to impact education, gender equality, economic prosperity, and community resilience. Investing in comprehensive WASH initiatives is essential for achieving sustainable development goals and improving the overall quality of life in the region. Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) programs have a profound transformative impact in West Africa, addressing the region’s critical health and socio-economic challenges.

Health Outcomes

WASH programs significantly reduce the burden of waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea, which are prevalent in West Africa due to poor sanitation and unsafe drinking water. Access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities leads to fewer cases of illness, particularly among children, resulting in lower mortality rates and healthier communities and improving social and economic opportunity.

Faith-based Solutions

Faith-based initiatives play a crucial role in complementing WASH efforts in West Africa by leveraging their established networks and influence within local communities. By integrating faith-based perspectives with WASH interventions, these initiatives foster holistic development and empower communities to embrace healthier lifestyles. This demonstrates the impactful synergy between faith-based organizations and public health initiatives in West Africa.

Enhanced Education

WASH programs significantly improve education outcomes in West Africa by addressing key barriers that hinder children’s access to and participation in schooling. Access to clean water and sanitation facilities in schools reduces absenteeism caused by waterborne diseases and related illnesses. Schools with adequate WASH infrastructure, especially separate sanitation facilities for girls, promote a more conducive and dignified learning environment, particularly for female students.
