BGI and Safe Water Network have joined forces to bring safe, sustainable and locally-owned water infrastructure to Ghana. The goal of this initiative is to produce a sustainable system and network that dramatically improves health and livelihoods within the community, and can be broadly replicated across Ghana, Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
