WATER Enters Agreement with Pure Home Water (PHW) to Help Expand Ghana Operations

January 18, 2011 – Water In Africa Through Everyday Responsiveness (WATER) has today announced a relationship with Pure Home Water (PHW) to help expand PHW’s operations in Ghana.  WATER will provide management and accounting services to PHW in Ghana for a 12 month period in hopes of adding to PHW’s presence, as well as advance to development of its ceramic household water filter production in northern Ghana.  PHW is in the process of building a production facility in Tamale for low cost ceramic filters as a low cost solution for household water filtration.  This technology is especially relevant in communities without boreholes or other alternatives for obtaining potable water.  PHW is collaborating with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in its efforts.  Under the agreement WATER will attempt to bring the facility to regular production levels as well as to help build a distribution channel.
