CONTEXTS
Currently, we are active in different contexts, supporting isolated communities in Tanzania, Cameroon, Togo, and Haiti.
Tanzania
Warka Water established the Warka Water Zanzibar Foundation (WWZF) in 2024, based on Pemba Island. Developed by Warka Water and its partners, the "Seed Initiative" is a vision for the future of Zanzibar and the East African coast. WWZF focuses on community-led initiatives, environmental protection, and improving the quality of life for vulnerable populations, aiming to foster sustainable development and create a positive impact on the lives of Zanzibaris.
Cameroon
Warka Water is operating in the Republic of Cameroon since 2018, in the South Region, actively involved in protecting and restoring the Rainforest, and its ecosystem, against the increasing and massive deforestation. WW is also engaged to bring support to the indigenous peoples, the Pygmies, and other ethnic groups, that are facing discrimination and rejection due to their cultural and social difference. We are actively working in 2 communities, Mvoungangomi and Bimbambi 2.
Ethiopia
Warka Water's journey began in Ethiopia in 2013, motivated by supporting the communities struggling to access clean water. The Warka Tower initiative, born from this need, collects water from the athmosphere, providing an aklternative sustainable solution. In 2015, the first pilot project was successfully implemented in southern Ethiopia, demonstrating the viability of our approach. This success led to the establishment of Warka Water Inc., a non-profit dedicated to empowering communities and improving lives."
Haiti
Warka Water began work in Haiti in 2016, with projects planned for multiple locations, including Cormiers. This village, devastated by the 2010 earthquake, faces severe water scarcity, relying on contaminated river water. Our initiative aims to provide clean water through the Warka Tower, improving health and empowering the community. However, the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the critical security situation in Haiti have unfortunately halted our on-site activities.
Togo
Warka Water has been working in Kpékpéta, a village located in the northern region of Lomé, Togo, since 2018. Kpékpéta is a relatively large village with a diverse population, including the Ewe, Kabye, and Losso ethnic groups. Residents face significant challenges accessing clean water and sanitation services. Our project aims to address these issues by providing improved sanitation facilities and empowering the community, enhancing health and well-being for all.
Since the completion of the first Warka Tower's pilot in Ethiopia, in 2015, we have gained precious experiences and competencies.
