    Description
    Description

    WaterWide is a non-profit organisation, founded in 2019, with the main objective of solving water, sanitation and hygiene-related challenges, and Tracking government spending and international aid for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) to ensure transparency, accountability and the proper implementation and completion of WASH projects in rural communities in Nigeria. We are working towards the achievement of Goal 6 ("Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all") of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. To achieve this critical objective we: i. Engage in advocacy at both policy and decentralised levels to strengthen and deepen our role in influencing policies and practices that impede access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene by the people in rural communities. ii. Develop the capacity of relevant stakeholders and rural communities members, equip them with the right knowledge for best practices in the water and sanitation sector, and establish mechanisms for ensuring government spending accountability. iii. Raise funds to build toilets and boreholes to support the efforts of the government in rural communities because access to safe water, improved sanitation and proper hygiene are crucial to the development of any community.
