Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Initiatives

Clean water is the first promise we make to a community and the foundation on which every other Ethana e'World intervention stands.

Since our founding in 2017, we have listened to farmers, mothers, teachers, and traditional healers describe the daily cost of unsafe water. Children miss lessons because of preventable diarrhoea, women walk kilometres to polluted streams, and health centres ration already scarce supplies. Our Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) department was created to break that cycle by pairing rigorous engineering with indigenous knowledge and community stewardship.

Working from programme hubs in Nigeria and Ghana and supported by specialists in Berlin, our teams map aquifers, test water quality, and co-design infrastructure with the people who will own it. Solar-powered boreholes, gravity-fed pipe schemes, and rainwater harvesting systems are coupled with maintenance cooperatives so repairs never depend on distant donors. Hygiene mentors lead colour-food nutrition clubs that connect safe water to healthy diets, while waste-to-compost pilots supply organic fertiliser back into our agriculture programmes.

This holistic approach means WASH is not a silo but the circulatory system of Ethana e'World. It keeps hospitals sterile, classrooms vibrant, and sport therapy fields safe. Every litre we protect is a step toward the organic, dignified future we envision for the continent.
