In Ghana, close to six million people (nearly 22 percent) rely on surface water to meet their daily water needs, leaving them vulnerable to water-related illness and disease. ... Seventy percent of all diseases in Ghana are caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. The majority of households without access to safe water and sanitation lack the upfront funds needed to invest in their own solutions. Consequently, those living in poverty often pay up to ten times more per liter for water service from private vendors than their middle-class counterparts connected to piped water services.

Unfortunately, this requires up-front investments that, without access to financing, are unrealistic for most of these people.
