Eight out of 10 people without access to clean water live in rural areas, and nearly half of them live in Sub-Saharan Africa. (UNICEF)
Support from a local physician was essential for our work from both medical and administrative standpoints. Ghana was selected for the first round of projects, in part because of Nathan and Linda’s connection to Dr. Sampson Antwi, a Ghanaian pediatrician.
Antwi is a renowned professor of pediatric nephrology on staff at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, and holds an academic position at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology. Possessing first-hand knowledge of the crisis through his clinical work, he was also instrumental in helping us identify several villages in the region which were in great need.
Another member of our board, Seth Johnson, RN, is originally from Ghana and has facilitated important relationships with local leaders and the major hospital in the Ada region.
Our Growth by Year
Future Project Sites
We will be serving over 30,000 new lives with 13 new devices to provide purified and safe drinking water in rural communities with no access to electricity. Our upcoming installations are focused in Ghana and Senegal.
Ghana
Total Installations: 10 water towers will be installed across multiple regions in 2024, expanding our efforts to bring clean water to underserved villages.
Ashanti Region: Easy Water for Everyone has established strong relationships with two NGOs in the Ashanti Region. In 2024, a total of 5 water towers will be installed in collaboration with these NGOs, which are actively involved in healthcare, water access, and education.
Greater Accra Region: In partnership with local stakeholders, we will install 5 additional water towers in the Greater Accra Region in 2024, continuing our mission to provide safe drinking water in rural areas.
Senegal
Total Installations: 3 water towers will be installed in 2024 in rural villages to ensure access to purified drinking water. This marks a growing focus on expanding our impact in Senegal, where recent installations have already provided safe water to thousands.
Community Impact
At all project sites, having pure drinking water dramatically improved the villagers' quality of life. In all our return visits, mothers have come to tell us what a difference the pure water has made in their lives, particularly in reducing or eliminating illnesses such as diarrhea in their small children. Also, teachers indicate that students are now rarely sent home from school due to diarrhea.
