Have you ever asked yourself, "Is the water that I consume daily safe?" Are you even confident that if consumed, it has no side effects to your health? Our mandate is to ensure that everyone in the community has access to safe and clean water by maintaining a high level of water quality checks which not only ensure access but also provide a genuine product. We believe everyone has a right to a safe and clean water source and we are proud to do our work daily.

Our Strategic Partnerships team witnessed the remarkable impact reliable safe water can have when they visited our business, 4Ward Development Northern Operations in Wa, Ghana. They collaborated with 4Ward’s staff, spoke to some of their over 100,000 NUMA customers, helped construct household connections, and enjoyed refreshing drinks from our NUMA water points. To our current and future partners - our passion is fueled, our mission is reaffirmed, and we can’t wait to share the stories and tangible benefits we observed. Together, we can end the water crisis. #venturebuilder #safewaterbusiness #Ghana

While the Water Forum takes place in Bali, let us not forget that the issue of access to drinking water is still an immense challenge. And if we also consider that this access must be truly sustainable, we are dizzying. SDG 6.1 will not be achieved only by deploying infrastructures, but by supporting, valuing and strengthening the 'operators' of these infrastructures who ensure the sustainability of the models. Investments must be massively directed towards these operators to ensure that the infrastructures are maintained, that quality is monitored, that the promotion of good practices is carried out, that the access service is valued, that the various stakeholders are coordinated,... This is how we will transform the impact into sustainable impact, particularly in the most vulnerable areas. Love this pic from UDUMA ! #SDG6 #wateraccess #impact #sustainableaccess #SWAO

Wondering what these women have in common? It's not just the fact that they all enjoy the luxury of Numa Water flowing from their taps—though they do. It's a shared journey, one that starts with youthful vigor and ends with the burden of age. Once, they could trek kilometers in search of water, but as time passed, so did their physical strength. Carrying heavy basins became a challenge, even over short distances. Now, with Numa water available 24/7 in their homes, their lives have changed. Convenience has replaced hardship, making access to water a simple task.
