Adaklu Torda School
Adaklu Torda is a rural community situated in the Volta region of Ghana, with a population of approximately 4,100. The primary economic activities in the area include subsistence farming, trading, and hunting. The residents are known for their friendliness and hospitality.
The Adaklu Torda community school was founded in 1962 through a collaboration between the Government of Ghana and the local community. Since its inception, the school has seen little major development from the government, prompting community members to regularly unite and contribute to the school's support through communal labor, alongside assistance from various organizations. The current school population is 280, ranging from kindergarten through ninth grade.

Regrettably, since its inception, the school has lacked a connection to a water source, compelling students to fetch groundwater for drinking and washing purposes. The school's leadership reports that this absence of water on campus impedes efficient teaching and learning, as well as the promotion of hygiene among students.
Our implementing partner, Volunteers for Amelioration of Rural Areas (VARAS), will oversee the installation of a water pump, PVC piping, and a poly tank. The community will provide labor and much of the building materials (lumber/cracked stones), which can be found locally. VARAS will be in charge of ensuring the success and sustainability of this life-changing project.
H2O for Life is not a WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) project implementer. We have partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) implementing WASH in Schools projects around the world. Our NGO partners match funds needed for each school project. We also have a generous donor that provides us with an interest-free loan that, along with matching funds, allows for many projects to be started or possibly even completed before total funds have been raised. In rare situations we reserve the right to reallocate funds to alternate project(s).
