WHY WATER?
Access to clean and reliable water is the fundamental driving force behind economic growth in rural areas and urban economic growth, serving as the foundation for a multitude of development opportunities that can revolutionize societies. We aim to reach 8 million people by building water and smart water infrastructures.
The vision is less about What Water– but rather about What Water can do.
We work directly with local authorities and communities to ensure the funds are in accord with our agreements and to ensure the sustainability of each water system. We are on the ground operating in a direct model with limited intermediaries,which save time and resources.
Ensuring the sustainability of its activities in the field, What Water is among the few nonprofit organizations to have received the Order from the Ministry of Territorial Administration of Cameroon, granting authorization to operate throughout the Cameroonian territory for a renewable period of 3 years, in accordance with its mission.
