How it all started!
EnterWASH was started in 2015 as an entrepreneurship programme in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) by MDF, West Africa in partnership with FARIAD, a local NGO. The objective was simple; to support youth in addressing pressing challenges in the WASH value chain through facilitating the creation of small sustainable and innovative businesses in the sector. The programme took on 20 youth who were enthusiastic and prepared to create businesses in WASH.
The entrepreneurs over the past months have gone through a practical training on WASH entrepreneurship where they worked on developing and validating their business ideas through market research and prototyping their products. EnterWASH also brought together a pool of experts in various fields such as WASH, marketing, finance etc, where the entrepreneurs tapped into, in the form of a mentoring programme. Thanks to these experts’ advices, the entrepreneurs have significantly enhanced their businesses ideas and processes and are ready to launch their businesses in their communities. Nine (9) of the entrepreneurs recently launched their crowd funding campaign at an impressive event at the Netherlands embassy to source for capital.The EnterWASH crowd funding campaign is a grand way you can contribute to the life of a young person who is zealous about his environment and wants to bring about a change.

Why Donate
Using a business-oriented approach to solving WASH problems is definitely a sustainable way to promote access to clean and potable water, proper sanitation and hygiene leading to a cleaner environment and a healthy living for all citizenry. In this regard, we are calling on you to support the local entrepreneur to kick start their delivery of WASH products and services. These young entrepreneurs are seeking assistance through your generous donations in any small way to get off the ground on to the entrepreneurship stage. In fact, the implementation of the entrepreneurs’ business idea is tied up to funding. Without such funding, it will be quite difficult to kick start these wonderful solutions to the WASH problem and roll out any WASH product and service.
So come together in support of EnterWASH entrepreneurs by donating to the campaign on www.fundraingafrica.com/fra/enterwash to help a WASH solution driver make Ghana a cleaner and healthier place to live.
