To mark World Water Day 2026, Eco-Africa Network partnered with Bel-Aqua to film across the Achiaman-Amasaman Municipality, spotlighting this year’s theme: “Water and Gender.”
The initiative shed light on how water access shapes the everyday lives of girls in these communities.
This year’s theme serves as a reminder that access to water goes beyond basic necessity — it directly impacts the well-being of the girl child.
When water is accessible, it saves her time, preserves her energy, and protects her childhood, allowing her to pursue education and personal growth.
Speaking on the initiative, the Executive Director of Eco-Africa Network, Worship Joshua Frimpong emphasized the urgency of the conversation: “We cannot talk about gender equality and leave water out of the room. Every day, thousands of girls in our communities sacrifice their education, their health, and their future just to fetch water.
This short film is our call to action — to leaders, to communities, and to every stakeholder — that investing in water access is investing in the girl child, and ultimately, in the future of our nation.”
He further noted that the collaboration with Bel-Aqua reflects a shared commitment to driving systemic change through awareness, advocacy, and community engagement.
Let us all remember that access to clean water is not only an environmental concern but also a gender issue.
For where water flows, equality grows.
