World Vision Ghana (WVG) has reaffirmed its commitment to achieving universal access to safe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services in Ghana. The organization has launched its 2026-2030 WASH Business Plan, a $51.7 million investment aimed at reaching an additional 743,000 children and their families with sustainable water solutions by 2032.
The plan focuses on expanding water supply infrastructure, promoting sanitation and hygiene behavior change, building local capacity, and strengthening accountability and inclusion in WASH programming. WVG’s efforts have already provided access to safe drinking water for over 793,000 people and contributed to the national effort to combat diseases related to poor sanitation and hygiene.
However, challenges persist, including climate change and illegal mining, which threaten water sources. The Minister for Works, Housing, and Water Resources, Mr. Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, emphasized the need for collective effort to ensure access to safe, reliable, and affordable water services for all communities.
Over the past decade, WVG’s efforts have provided access to safe drinking water for over 793,000 people through the completion of numerous boreholes and mechanised water systems.
The organization has also played a crucial role in the national effort to combat diseases related to poor sanitation and hygiene.
In his address, the Minister for Works, Housing, and Water Resources, Mr. Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, admitted that even though Ghana has made key progress over the years, significant challenges still remain.
He explained that while national access to basic water has risen to an estimated 90% and basic sanitation to 32%, climate change and illegal mining (“galamsey”) continue to threaten water sources.
“What matters now is our collective effort to ensure access to safe, reliable, and affordable water services for all communities,” said the Minister for Works and Housing, urging stakeholders to focus on effective service delivery and collaboration.
