Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

SafeSip Limited empowers underrepresented groups, including climate-vulnerable communities, women, and youth, across East Africa. By providing safe drinking water solutions, we directly benefit 500,000 rural residents by 2030, reducing waterborne diseases and freeing women and girls from spending up to 6 hours daily fetching water. This enables greater participation in education and income-generating activities.

Our workforce reflects our commitment to inclusivity, with 70% comprising women and youth, many from underserved backgrounds. Our CEO, Faith Kuya, brings lived experience, having grown up in marginalized communities and overcome systemic barriers. Her leadership, combined with expertise in social entrepreneurship, ensures that our solutions align with the needs of those most affected by climate change.

We actively create opportunities for youth employment, engaging them in manufacturing, distribution, and community training. Since 2022, we have trained over 300 community members on water safety and sustainability, fostering resilience to climate impacts.

SafeSip’s focus on inclusivity extends to empowering women-led households, who account for 30% of our customers, by offering affordable, practical solutions. By combining measurable impacts with a team rooted in lived experience and expertise, we ensure underrepresented groups remain central to the climate movement and our organizational success.
