Customer satisfaction from our project ‘Clean Energy Drinking Water Solutions in Kenya’.
Our project in Kenya, ‘Clean Energy Drinking Water Solutions’ is well underway, tells Thomas Augustinus, program manager A2i. He visited the project in September while it is testing the commercial viability of distributing the SAWA cans through the large network of Maendeleo Ya Wanawake. Initial feedback show that users, that are mostly rural women, are satisfied with the product as it cleans the water effectively and in the long run safes money for the household.
The project ‘Clean Energy Drinking Water Solutions’ is a partnership between Danish company 4LifeSolutions, Africa’s largest women organisation Maendeleo ya Wanawake, and Access2innovation. The project is funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Danida Green Business Partnerships (DGBP) program.
Maendeleo ya Wanawake (MYWO), who is the lead partner of the project, is a Kenyan women organization and the largest in Africa with 4 million registered members, 17,780 elected leaders and operating 25,000 groups / affiliates.
