WaterAid West Africa is determined to make clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation.

It’s about more than installing taps, toilets, boreholes and wells.

Across West Africa, women are shaping a more resilient future.

On this Pan African Women's Day, we celebrate the extraordinary women who are leading change in their homes, communities and institutions.

Whether advocating for climate resilience, improving access to clean water, championing sanitation and hygiene, or breaking barriers in leadership, West African women continue to demonstrate that sustainable development is built on courage, innovation and collective action.

At WaterAid West Africa, we are proud to work alongside women and women's organisations that are creating lasting solutions and ensuring no one is left behind.

Today, we celebrate your strength, your leadership and your unwavering commitment to a better future for all.

Happy Pan African Women's Day.

Real change happens when local governments own the solution.

In Lagos State, WaterAid Nigeria has been working alongside the Ojodu and Ikorodu North Local Council Development Areas to strengthen inclusive, climate-resilient WASH services by supporting local leadership, not replacing it.

The result is a powerful example of how governments can adopt proven approaches, integrate them into their own plans and budgets, and deliver better services for their communities.

This documentary shares that journey through the experiences of local officials, community members and service users, showing that when governments lead and partnerships are strong, lasting change becomes possible.

Congratulations to our WaterAid Nigeria team for showcasing a model that can inspire local governments across West Africa to strengthen WASH services for everyone, everywhere.

Right now, Africa is shaping its common position for the 2026 UN Water Conference.

This is the moment to ask a simple question:

Whose voices are shaping it?

African women manage water, protect families, support communities and experience the consequences of water insecurity every single day. Yet too often, they are missing from the rooms where decisions are made.

This Africa Women's Day, we're changing that.

Join women leaders, grassroots organisations, health professionals and advocates from across the continent as we move beyond conversation to influence.

Because the best water policies are not written for women. They're shaped with women.

📅 30 July

Will you be part of the conversation?

Water security is one of Africa's greatest opportunities. But only if everyone can access it.

The African Water Forum in N'Djamena, Chad concluded with renewed commitment to advancing water security across the continent through stronger partnerships, greater investment and coordinated action.

Representing WaterAid were Dr. Abdul Nashiru Mohammed, Regional Director for West Africa, and Dr. Yussif Azzika Tanko, Pan Africa Advocacy Director.

A key moment for us was Dr. Abdul Nashiru Mohammed's participation in the High Level Panel on Water for People, where he reinforced the need for greater accountability, stronger coordination, increased financing and deliberate action to ensure investments reach last mile communities.

The Forum also marked an important milestone with the signing of Water Compacts by Chad, Togo, The Gambia and Guinea. These government-led commitments provide a stronger framework for aligning policy, institutions and financing to accelerate progress towards water security.

Across Africa, more than 400 million people still lack access to basic drinking water, while over 700 million people lack basic sanitation. Addressing these challenges is essential for healthier communities, stronger economies and greater climate resilience.

WaterAid will continue advocating for the policies, partnerships and investments needed to ensure no one is left behind.

Because change starts with water.

"When I had my first two children, there was no water at the clinic."

Asatta remembers what it was like to give birth when healthcare workers had to leave the maternity ward to fetch water before they could care for mothers and newborns.

Today, as she awaits the birth of her third child, everything has changed.

The clinic now has running water, a shower, private sanitation facilities, handwashing stations and safe drinking water. For Asatta, that means dignity, privacy and safer care for both mother and baby.

For thousands of women across West Africa, this is still not their reality.

Access to clean water in healthcare facilities should never depend on where a woman lives. Yet millions continue to face pregnancy and childbirth without these basic services.

Through improvements at Bomboja Clinic in Liberia, WaterAid has helped create safer conditions for mothers, babies, health workers and the wider community while strengthening local systems to keep services running for years to come.

Asatta says it best:

"Now we are happy. Water is there. Women will choose to come to the hospital to give birth."

Safe childbirth starts with clean water.

It is on the promise that every mother, every baby and every health worker deserves clean water, decent sanitation and good hygiene wherever they are.

A water point is only as reliable as the people who can keep it working.

When a community water system breaks down, families should not have to return to unsafe water sources.

That is why WaterAid invests in people, not just infrastructure.

Technicians like Souleymane are trained to identify problems, repair damaged systems and help communities restore access to clean water quickly. Their skills help ensure that water services continue long after a project has been completed.

Real sustainability means building strong local systems, strengthening community capacity and ensuring that safe water keeps flowing for generations.

Because lasting access to clean water is not created by infrastructure alone. It is sustained by empowered people.

🤰🏾 A safe birth starts with clean water.

Every mother deserves to give birth in a clean, safe environment.

💧 Clean water.
🚰 Decent toilets.
🧼 Good hygiene.

These are essential for preventing infections, protecting newborns and ensuring quality maternal healthcare.

Across West Africa, too many women are still being left behind.

The solutions are within reach.

Now it's .

Let's invest in WASH to protect mothers, newborns and future generations.

What is happening in Accra is not unique.

Across West Africa, communities are facing increasingly severe floods, prolonged droughts, and growing uncertainty about water.

Climate change is making water more unpredictable and more destructive, putting lives, livelihoods, and public health at risk.

In a recent BBC Africa report, WaterAid Ghana Country Director Ewurabena Yanyi-Akofur described the climate crisis for what it is: a water crisis.

As extreme weather events become more intense across the region, investing in climate resilient water, sanitation and hygiene services is critical to protecting communities and building a more resilient future for West Africa.

⚽ The referee blows the whistle.

Players head to the touchline.

Water bottles come out.

Hydration matters because no athlete can perform at their best without water.

Yet while millions of football fans watch players take hydration breaks during the World Cup, millions of people across Africa still spend hours searching for water before their day can even begin.

Imagine preparing for school, work, farming or running a business without knowing where your next bucket of water will come from.

Water is not just important for football. It powers health, education, livelihoods and economic growth.

The world's best players know that performance depends on hydration. Communities deserve that same opportunity to thrive.

Every hydration break on the pitch is a reminder that access to clean water should not be a privilege enjoyed by some and denied to others.

Because water changes everything.
