Who we Are

We are a development organization established to support and champion the realization of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Goal 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation. It’s a non – governmental, not-for-profit, non-partisan organization working for the Social Development of the vulnerable and less developed communities in rural Africa. WRA is a Human – centered NGO, an implementing organization which designs and implements various developmental projects in the water and sanitation sector with the financial and technical support of international donor agencies and the government.

In the short term, WRA will partner with Governmental Agencies, Departments, International Institutions, Research Institutions and other major Stakeholders responsible for implementing Water and Sanitation Policies to provide strategic support in the following domain:
– Policy formulation and advisory
– Advocacy
– Research
– Education and awareness creation
– Campaign for the conservation and preservation of the ecosystem and water bodies.
– Organizing symposium and forum for policy direction and education on climate change and its impact on the global water table and the ecology.

WRA will effectively collaborate and support with research institutions to publish research findings with the needed technical support and expertise. Provide one thousand boreholes to rural and deprived communities in Africa within two years. WRA will also act as an advocate for the protection of water – related ecosystems such as wetlands and rivers by engaging institutions and
stakeholders. Water and Sanitation Policy Forums will be organized quarterly to develop Water Policies towards the attainment of the SDGs Goal 6. This will involve governments and key stakeholders.

WRA will work closely with both internal and external Research teams to design cutting edge technologies for waste water treatment to be provided for some identified communities in Africa, including Rain Water harvesting for irrigational purposes. WRA will also engage stakeholders against the indiscriminate disposal of solid and liquid waste into water bodies. A practice that is
common in rural Africa. Three thousand more boreholes will also be provided in the medium term.

In the long term, WRA will ensure that ten million more rural Africans has access to Clean, Safe
drinking Water and Sanitation by 2030.

About Us

We believe water is the way. To break the cycle of poverty. To protect and save lives. To make a bright future possible for all. Easy access to safe drinking water can protect and save lives, just because it’s always available. Easy access to safe drinking water has the power to turn time spent into time saved, when it’s close and not hours away. It can turn problems into potential: unlocking education, economic prosperity, and improved health. Every human being deserves to define their own future, and water makes that possible. We’ve transformed more than eight thousand lives in rural Ghana with access to safe drinking water by constructing about thirty mechanized bore-holes. Our objective is to provide 10,000 mechanized bore-holes in rural Africa by 2040 and together we can achieve this. Water for Rural Africa (WRA) is a development organization, a non-governmental, not-for-profit and nonsectarian, non-partisan organization working for social development of vulnerable and less developed communities. WRA was founded in 2016 based on passion and experience by Dr Donald Cog Senanu Agumenu as a human – centered NGO.
