As the world marks World Water Day 2026 under the theme “Water and Gender,” QNET, global lifestyle and wellness-focused direct-selling company, is drawing attention to the importance of safe drinking water as a fundamental aspect of health, dignity, and everyday wellbeing, particularly within households where water management remains closely tied to family care and daily living.
Globally, access to safe water continues to influence health outcomes and social equity.
According to the Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme, 2.2 billion people still lack safely managed drinking water, while 115 million rely directly on untreated surface water.
In Nigeria, access remains a significant challenge, with only about 21.7% of the population estimated to have safely managed drinking water, despite roughly 70% having access to basic water sources that are often unsafe or contaminated – particularly in rural communities.
Against this backdrop, Ayokunmi Solesi, general manager for QNET in Nigeria, said,

“Water safety is not only a public health issue; it is an everyday quality-of-life issue. When families have confidence in the water they drink and use at home, it directly supports health, energy, and overall well-being. In many households across Nigeria, women play a central role in managing family health and daily routines, which makes safe water solutions at the household level especially important.” He added that this thinking aligns with QNET’s 2026 global theme, “Energised, Every Day,” which reflects the company’s focus on practical products that support everyday living.
At the centre of this approach is HomePure Nova , QNET’s household water filtration system designed to improve water quality at the point of use. Built with multi-stage filtration technology, the system helps reduce impurities commonly found in drinking water, supporting safer daily consumption and reinforcing the role of prevention in home-based wellbeing.
Beyond water filtration, QNET’s broader product portfolio reflects the same practical wellness philosophy. Its offerings include wellness solutions under the Amezcua line, nutritional support through EDG3 Plus , oral care products such as ProSpark , and lifestyle innovations from Bernhard H. Mayer, including the OMNI Watch , which received recognition at the Stevie Awards for sustainability-driven design.
Sharing further thoughts on the observance, Solesi said,
“World Water Day also reminds us that access to safer water goes far beyond hydration; it directly influences health, dignity, and everyday quality of life. Cleaner water supports healthier homes, reduces avoidable household health risks, and helps ease daily pressures linked to water access, particularly for women who often carry primary responsibility for family nutrition, care, and household wellbeing.”
As QNET deepens its wellness conversations in Nigeria through product education, stakeholder engagement, and community-focused initiatives, it believes practical household solutions such as water filtration will continue to shape how consumers think about protection, resilience, and healthier daily choices.
In a year defined by the theme “Energised, Every Day,” the company says safe water remains one of the clearest examples of how wellbeing begins with what people use every day in their homes.
