WaterAid | Ghana

In Ghana 75% of people have access to safe water and only 18% have sanitation.

Since 1985, WaterAid has worked with eight partner organisations, which manage water, sanitation and hygiene education projects in six of Ghana's eight regions.Communities take responsibility for their projects, installing latrines, boreholes and hand-dug wells. WaterAid trains village health coordinators to pass on good hygiene messages and help prevent the spread of water-related diseases such as guinea worm, which is still prevalent in areas of northern Ghana.Local partners help the poorest and most marginalised communities to assess the water and sanitation services in their area, encouraging them to engage with local and national governments and demand action from those responsible for providing these services.
