For International Women’s Day 2024, we’re taking a look at the common forms of gender-based violence and injustice in water-stressed communities around the world – and how we can use safe water initiatives to create a safer, freer future for women and girls everywhere.
In February 2024, the ROTOM Outreach Centre opened a new safe water system. With safe water access, the staff have the clean water they need to provide safe and effective medical care to the Lusera community.
In addition, more than two thousand people in the community now have a reliable safe water source. Lusera’s seniors, many of whom were unable to make the long daily trips for water, finally have a reliable water source nearby for them and their families.
In September 2023, the water system at Ryabiregnye Village ROTOM Outreach Centre opened up to the community. Now, the seniors of Ryabirengye and their families can rest easy knowing they have access to quality medical care and a reliable, abundant source of safe water.
As we continue to seek effective ways to make positive change in our communities, we’ve begun pairing water projects at schools with food sustainability projects to improve children’s nutrition.
Our first project at Tom and Margaret Education Centre in Mawotto Village, Uganda now has a farm that includes bananas, cassava, corn, beans, groundnuts, and fruit trees, providing abundant and healthy food to Mawotto’s children.
For teachers and students, staying safe during the pandemic was difficult enough without water stress – but in communities where safe water access was scarce, protective hygiene was exponentially more difficult. For our partner communities in the Dominican Republic, H2O4ALL’s Clean Hands Initiative made a world of difference when it came to keeping kids and teachers safe at school.
January 24th is International Education Day, a holiday dedicated to promoting equal education access around the world and celebrating the people working for universal education access.
Currently, there are more than 250 million children and adolescents out of school.
H2O4ALL began working in Tsopoli Village, Ghana, in 2017 when we partnered with the Givers’ Care Foundation to implement a safe water system at Someh Rahma School. At the time, Tsopoli – a small village of around 500 people in Ghana’s Greater Accra region – had no safe water source. Most Tsopoli residents relied on rainwater collection or unprotected lakes for water. Furthermore, these sources were often contaminated.
In 2015, we started H2O4ALL with a mission: to bring sustainable, accessible safe water to struggling communities around the world. Odile Bartlett and Timothy Muttoo had noticed something missing from many humanitarian efforts in developing countries: an experienced and informed voice that could advocate for community water access.
2023 was our fifteenth anniversary and a year of changes. As we move forward into 2024, let’s look at what we achieved in 2023.
