OUR Mission

It’s about “What Water” can do!​

What Water’s mission is to provide clean water to 8 million people in Africa by 2030, supporting the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs 6 “Clean Water and Sanitation” and 17 “Global Partnerships for Sustainable Development”).

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.

Empowering Communities with Water Access

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.

Our Projects

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.
