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.
