Proposal & Objectives
Water Life Africa is an organization founded by Stephen Obinna K. and his wife Daenne Obinna-Boeters with the mission of fostering development across African nations by providing clean drinking water to rural communities. By addressing the critical issue of waterborne diseases, the organization aims to significantly reduce the number of deaths caused by unsafe drinking water.
INTRODUCTION
Water is vital for human survival, health, and dignity, and it is fundamental for human development. However, the world’s freshwater resources are under increasing pressure. Freshwater is becoming more limited, and many communities are affected by water shortages. Several river basins are shared by two or more nations, leading to complexities in water access and management. Additionally, water pollution is escalating, making it difficult to sustain ecosystems and provide safe drinking water.
PROJECT PROPOSAL
The Stichting organization seeks to provide potable water to rural villages, addressing the urgent need for clean and safe drinking water.
Currently, many villagers rely on polluted streams, leading to the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera and diarrhea. Pregnant women and other vulnerable individuals are often forced to travel long distances to fetch water, further exacerbating health risks and physical strain.
OBJECTIVE
To improve access to clean water in rural villages, we propose the construction of portable water wells, ensuring a reliable and sustainable source of drinking water.
In addition, we aim to provide rainwater harvesting tanks, utilizing locally available materials and educating communities on proper water storage techniques to maximize their benefits.
The Stichting organization remains committed to community engagement by organizing regular meetings with the local water committee. These sessions empower residents with the knowledge and responsibility to maintain water facilities effectively.
To sustain these services, we encourage small, affordable contributions based on individual income levels. This fosters a sense of ownership and ensures long-term maintenance of essential water infrastructure.
Active participation from local authorities is crucial to the success of our initiatives. Their involvement motivates communities to manage and protect newly established water systems efficiently.
Furthermore, our organization prioritizes local workforce involvement during construction projects, creating meaningful job opportunities and fostering economic empowerment within rural areas.
