The WADA project aims to emphasise to the Ramotshinyadi villagers how clean, running water can promote good health and hygiene practices. Family Health International South Africa (FHISA), Mvula Trust, and Re-Solve are collaborating to implement the program in the village.
 

Malik Jaffer, USAID/Southern Africa HIV/AIDS technical officer said: “USAID wants to help South African children and their families get the basic essentials they need to lead happy, healthy lives. Without clean water and sanitation, these kids don't stand a chance.”
 

WADA is investing a total of $1.6 million over a three year period to build the appropriate water infrastructure and ensure that every street has water pipes in the Ramotshinyadi Village, a priority health district in Limpopo Province and two other villages.
 

Tulisiwe Mkatshwa, community affairs manager for Coca-Cola South Africa said: “The Bophelo Ka Metsi project further demonstrates Coca-Cola's commitment as a company to contribute towards the development of our communities. Our continent's chronic water shortage also prompts us, together with strategic partners such as NGOs and government, to act immediately in overcoming this challenge.”
