The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation (TCCAF) and the U.S. Agency for International Development Mission Office in Nigeria (USAID/Nigeria) have launched the third phase of the Water and Development Alliance (WADA) program to provide safe water and hygiene facilities to public schools and hospitals in select rural communities.
WADA – a joint initiative between The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) and the USAID – contributes to protecting and improving the sustainability of watersheds, increasing access to water supply and sanitation services, and enhancing productive uses of water. With a combined investment of over US $39 million since 2005, WADA is having a positive impact on the lives of people and the health of communities in 30 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Managing Director of Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited, Adeola Adetunji, noted that the WADA III programme will contribute to achieving the goals of the Replenish Africa Initiative (RAIN), which aims to improve access to clean water for 6 million Africans by 2020.
