Saha Global provides access to safe drinking water to rural communities in Northern Region Ghana. We partner with rural communities who lack access to safe drinking water, but do have access to contaminated surface water sources. We then train local women to use locally available products to treat the contaminated water and make it safe to drink. The women then sell the clean water to their community at an affordable price.
Saha donates the capital equipment needed to start each businesses. This initial donation helps to keep the cost of running the business low-enough that the entrepreneurs can charge their community, where most people live on less than $2/day, affordable prices for their services.
Saha will not implement a new businesses unless we have raised the funds for a minimum of 10 years of monitoring and evaluation. Even including this cost, our water treatment centers are a fraction of the cost of drilling a well or borehore. Everyday, Our Customer Care team visits our partner communities to check-in with the women entrepreneurs, offer advice and long-term training. We believe that our commitment to monitoring, combined with our use of simple and locally available technology, has been the key to our long-term success in our partner communities.
