Water For West Africa’s mission is to achieve the goals of improving living conditions and opportunities for the people of West Africa

Welcome to Water for West Africa (WFWA), where we aim to advance water justice across West Africa. We are dedicated to ensuring equitable access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services for all communities, particularly those facing disparities and challenges. Our team is committed to addressing systemic inequalities in water resources and infrastructure, working closely with local partners and stakeholders to implement sustainable solutions. Through community-led initiatives, capacity-building programs, and advocacy efforts, we strive to empower individuals and communities to claim their right to safe and reliable water sources and sanitation facilities.

At WFWA, we believe that water justice is fundamental to human dignity, health, and prosperity, and we are passionate about driving positive change that transforms lives in West Africa. Join us in our journey towards a future where everyone can access clean water and sanitation, irrespective of their circumstances. Together, we can make water justice a reality.
