From Struggle to Solution: Hive Makes a Difference

The stories from Hive borehole launches are heart-touching as they are true to life and a case of struggles and solution. It is a fundamental human need to have access to clean water, yet, for many that is a struggle every day. This is the story of Lizbeth a resident of Asenua town in Ghana in the video I have shared, lizbeth narrated the challenges she and residents of the community encountered in going for water.

One of her most terrifying moments was nearly being hit by a car while crossing the main road just for the sake of getting some water. It was a harrowing experience that made her wonder how long they could survive such risks, simply to meet this basic human need.

Lizbeth is not alone in her experience. Water stress affects livelihoods in myriad ways, stealing time or posing physical danger, and it can impose a crushing burden on households, particularly the women and children. That is why Hive's Hive Empowers Communities project has been a game-changer.

As a part of this initiative, 18 boreholes have been commissioned that now provide reliable clean water to about 13,000 people in Ghana. This huge project has provided great relief to people in communities such as Asenua; minimizing hazards, saving time and enabling people to devote more of their time to things that matter most in their lives.

Water is life. Its an essential part of health,and education. In providing safe water, Hive has solved not only an immediate problem but has also empowered whole communities to thrive. Thank you to all the who has suppported this initiative and for being part of this journey. Your contributions have had a real impact, changing lives with Hive.
