Water for West Africa is working to provide clean water for
drinking, washing and cooking by drilling water wells in West
Africa. This simple act gives people a better opportunity to live a healthy life, hope for the future, and stop the cycle of extreme poverty. In addition to drilling wells, they teach lessons about healthy living, environmental sustainability, faith, peace-building, sanitation, and women and children’s advocacy.

By equipping people of West Africa with knowledge, skills, and resources, WfWA empowers them to lead healthier lives, care for the environment and become advocates for sustainable development. Their aim is to create a West Africa where the transformative power of faith and the provision of safe water and sanitation contribute to a just compassionate, and thriving society for all.

Paul Quinn College’s commitment to end food insecurity and injustice is underscored by their We Over Me Farm. Defined as a region with little to no access to affordable and nutritious food, the federally recognized ‘food desert’ in the southern sector of Dallas, TX has been without adequate support for over 60 years.

The Farm is operated and maintained primarily by PQ student-employees with guidance of the Farm Manager. Students engage in  all farm activities, from business planning to marketing, and thus it serves as a model of socially-conscious and environmentally-driven servant leadership and entrepreneurship.

In addition to providing fresh, healthy, affordable food options for its surrounding residents, the Farm strives to improve communities throughout the metroplex by providing hands-on educational experiences for youth and adults alike to promote healthy eating, improved food access, and environmental stewardship.
