Support the projects in Africa and contribute to a long-term improvement of the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) situation in WfW’s project areas.

Rapid population growth, deregulated urbanisation and climate change pose immense challenges for a secure water supply in Sub-Saharan Africa. Especially in cities, water supply and sanitation are exposed to extreme pressures – often at the expense of the poorest. For this reason, WfW-projects in Africa focus on urban areas.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, clean drinking water is a particularly precious commodity. Millions of people in the region live without safe access to clean drinking water or basic sanitation. Without a functioning water supply system, the population lacks the basis for personal and economic development.
This is often not due to the natural availability of the resource, but rather the insufficient infrastructure and distribution, lack of know-how and investment. These factors are necessary for a long-term improvement of the situation. This is where WfW comes in.
4 out of 10 people in Sub-Saharan Africa have no access to clean drinking water.
More than every other person has no access to basic sanitation.
Over 200 million school days are lost due to water scarcity.
Up to 2.5% of economic performance is lost due to inadequate sanitary facilities.
Together with local partner organisations, WfW contributes to the long-term improvement of the water, sanitation and hygiene situation (WASH) in the poorest neighbourhoods of urban areas.
WfW works in economically disadvantaged, urban areas of Zambia and Mozambique. Both countries are located in the south-eastern part of Africa and face enormous challenges in terms of water and sanitation.
WfW projects improve the WASH situation of thousands of people and sustainably strengthen the local water sector.
