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 2017, a $10,000 AllPeopleBeHappy Project Grant supported the opening of 6 new water businesses in the East Gonja District that provide clean water to approximately 2,400 people. In 2018 and 2019, the second and third $10,000 grants helped to support the opening of 28 and 49 new water businesses. Since its founding in 2008, Saha Global has opened 228 water businesses that provide jobs to over 600 women entrepreneurs in rural Ghana and clean water to 103,397 people. (www.sahaglobal.org)
