Saha Global’s mission is to reduce waterborne disease in impoverished rural villages where the water supply comes from stagnant ponds. Saha Global sets up entrepreneurial women with a chlorinating business that provides clean water at a price that all can afford. Saha Global provides the women with equipment (three 200L drums, one 1,000L polytank, metal stand, chlorine tablets, and multiple Safe Storage Container (SSC), one for each village family) that uses locally available materials, train the women on how to run the business, mentor them over time, and closely monitor the water quality and consumption for 10 years.
In early 2023, we renewed, for the 6th year, our $10,000 Project Grant to Saha Global. They currently have 389 water businesses, run by 1,109 women, serving more than 127,000 people in Ghana. In 2022, Saha Global started 102 new water businesses which were run by 284 women, serving 18,400 people. Our 2023 grant will be used to open 24 more of these businesses, providing livelihood to 77 women each year. (www.sahaglobal.org)
