Vision and mission

WaterAid's Ghana programme began development activities in 1985 and currently implements projects in partnership with eight local NGOs. WaterAid Ghana's vision, mission and beliefs are the same as those of the parent organisation, WaterAid international.

Vision

WaterAid's vision is of a world where everyone has access to safe water and effective sanitation.

Mission

Our mission is to overcome poverty by enabling the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.

We are an independent organisation and rely heavily on voluntary support. Please donate if you can.

Realising the vision

We are committed to addressing the vital need for safe water and sanitation head on. We aim to increase our impact both directly on the ground through our partner organisations, and indirectly by influencing others and promoting best practice in the field and in our offices.

We aim above all to be honest, accountable, effective, innovative and flexible. As a learning organisation, we are constantly evolving. An emphasis on research, analysis, evaluation and dissemination is vital to our future.

We rely on every member of the team - partners, donors, staff, volunteers and trustees. It is only when all parties work together that we can realise our shared vision of a world in which everyone has access to safe water and effective sanitation.
