Saha Global
Saha is a nonprofit water service provider that designs, delivers, and demonstrates a utility-grade model to ensure exclusive safe water consumption in last-mile communities across Ghana. While standards for reliable, professionally managed water service are well established globally, they are rarely applied in small, remote communities. Saha exists to close that gap—bringing consistent expectations of reliability, safety, and accountability to places typically considered too costly or complex to serve.
Investment Rationale
Partnering with Saha addresses one of the most immediate climate adaptation challenges facing vulnerable communities: ensuring reliable access to safe water in the face of increasingly erratic rainfall.
Delivering immediate resilience: Rehabilitation of community water dugouts will help ensure uninterrupted access to safe water despite increasingly unpredictable rainfall patterns.
Building adaptive capacity: Creating an internal climate strategy and investing in peer learning will build the institutional capacity needed to sustain and scale resilience over time.
Impact & Outcomes
Saha enables last-mile households to meet 100% of their daily drinking-water needs with safe, reliable water they can trust every day.
Systems Influence: Beyond direct service delivery, Saha generates real-world evidence on cost, performance, and resilience—helping funders, governments, and service providers understand how utility-grade rural water service can be planned, financed, and sustained over time. The goal is not only impact at the community level, but a proven service model that others can support, adapt, and scale.
Community Resilience: By investing in climate-adapted water infrastructure and equipping women entrepreneurs with the skills to operate and maintain services, Saha helps communities withstand increasing climate variability while fostering long-term local ownership and economic opportunity.
