Wassa Amen Phase I

Project Summary

This project aimed to improve access to water to save women and children time searching for and fetching water, allowing them to dedicate more time to cocoa farming, their sole source of income. “These people who brought this water might have been reading what is in my mind; they have saved my life and given me hope and time to do other things during the day,” said Yaa Manssa, a young bene ciary of the project who grew up believing water was white in color and had spent 90 percent of her daily life fetching water.
