In an effort to scale up efforts to address the challenges of clean water scarcity and inadequate sanitation infrastructure that continue to affect many rural and peri-urban areas in the country, World Vision Ghana and Interplast Ghana have partnered to address such issues.
As part of this collaboration, Interplast has provided HDPE and UPVC pipes and fittings to support the construction of a modified NSUPA solar-powered, mechanized water system.
Developed by World Vision Ghana, the NSUPA Model is an innovative homegrown solution aimed at delivering safe and sustainable water services to communities, institutions, and households.
The system features a submersible pump with accessories, Solar modules mounted on a 4-meter concrete tower, a 10,000-liter storage tank, A HDPE pipe network and Civil works, including standpipes and a permanent handwashing station. By leveraging solar energy, the NSUPA Model ensures efficient water delivery while promoting sustainability in vulnerable communities.
Speaking at the MoU signing, Jean-Claude Mukadi, National Director of World Vision Ghana, highlighted the significance of the collaboration in addressing water access challenges.
“In spite of our efforts, research indicates that between 30 to 40 percent of WASH facilities in Africa are either non-functional or operate below capacity due to poor design, inadequate construction, and management challenges. This partnership with Interplast Ghana will help address some of these technical barriers, ensuring that more communities have access to clean, safe water,” Jean-Claude Mukadi explained.
With operations in 14 out of 16 regions in Ghana, World Vision Ghana continues to impact approximately 100,000 people annually by improving access to clean water, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 ensuring clean water and sanitation for all.
The collaboration between World Vision Ghana and Interplast Ghana signals a shared commitment to building resilient communities, where every child and family has access to clean water and improved sanitation.
