Learners at a primary school in Ntondozi say life has transformed since World Vision provided clean water. Before, classes were disrupted to fetch unsafe river water, causing sickness and missed school meals. Now, lessons continue without interruption, the school garden thrives, and children like Benkhosi and Seluleko are healthier and focused on their studies. The change reflects the wider impact of World Vision’s WASH Programme, which is improving health and dignity in communities across Eswatini.

The Launch of the WASH Business Plan

World Vision Ghana launches a major WASH initiative in Sekyere Afram Plains to improve access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene for local communities.

Water is the blue thread of integration connecting people, places, and progress. It is essential to the well-being of children and their communities and creates pathways out of poverty. Water transforms lives by driving economic growth, food security, environmental resilience, safe healthcare, and educational success. Mapping the Blue Thread is World Vision’s 2026 to 2030 global business plan to deliver adaptive water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) solutions for a better, healthier world across 42 countries. Our data-driven approach enables country WASH teams to deliver targeted, location-specific strategies that maximize impact, effectiveness, and sustainability.
