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.

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.

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.

World Vision Ghana launches its 2026–2030 WASH Business Plan and Universal Service Coverage Programme, aiming to deliver sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene services to over 700,000 people across 23 districts.

Lack of safe water once forced 18-year-old Sibonelo from Mahlalini to spend hours fetching water from the river, affecting her studies and limiting her family’s ability to grow food. After World Vision’s WASH programme brought clean water into their homestead, everything changed. Sibonelo was able to focus on her education, complete school, and now plans to pursue an electrical wiring course. Her family established a thriving garden, enjoys nutritious meals, and runs a small poultry business, supported by reliable water access. The availability of safe water has strengthened their livelihoods and opened new opportunities for a better future.
