#SDGAction50925
Description
Saha Global is a Ghana-based non-profit that ensures access to safe and affordable drinking water for rural communities. We partner with women living in last-mile villages and train them to launch and run community water treatment plants. Saha's Service Delivery team then provides long-term support in the form of water quality testing and technical repairs and maintenance.
By 2027 Saha will support the Government of Ghana's goal to ensure that every Ghanaian has access to potable water by scaling our impact to provide affordable access clean water to 258,000 people in 838 of the hardest to reach communities in northern Ghana with the greatest need for improvement while also advancing women’s economic empowerment. Furthermore, Saha will have reduced the cost/L of water delivered by 90% compared to 2022 while delivering 20x more clean water and increasing entrepreneur income by 57%.
