Awudome Avenui School
Awudome Avenui is a rural community situated in Ghana's Volta region. It has an approximate population of 4,500. Subsistence farming, trading, and hunting are the primary economic activities in the area. The residents are known for their friendliness and hospitality.
The Awudome Avenui community school, founded in 1948 through a collaboration between the Government of Ghana and the local community, has seen little major development from the government since its inception. Consequently, community members regularly unite to provide support for the school via communal labor, often with the assistance of various organizations. The school currently has a population of 100 students, ranging from grade 7 to grade 9.

Regrettably, the school's washroom has developed cracks and is no longer safe for student use.
Our implementing partner, Volunteers for Amelioration of Rural Areas (VARAS), will oversee the construction of a new washroom connected to a water source. 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 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).
