WOMEN-LED BUSINESSES FOR CLEAN WATER

Saha Global empowers the poorest, most remote communities with simple, affordable water treatment technology, so they can access clean drinking water.

The organisation adopts the same method in every village. It donates locally sourced start-up equipment to female entrepreneurs and trains them to build a water treatment system. It also provides ongoing mentoring until the women can run their water businesses independently and effectively year-round.

Saha Global educates families in each village about the importance of clean water. It also distributes containers to safely store water and prevent any contamination in the home.

The female entrepreneurs sell the water to villagers at a price that everyone can afford, sustaining the small water treatment system and earning a supplemental income. For families normally living on less than $2 a day, this money makes a significant difference to their household incomes and can even enable personal savings.
