OSHUN, healthy water for all!
OSHUN, a partner of the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, is a solidarity start-up whose goal is to guarantee access to clean water for all, particularly in developing countries.
OSHUN was born from the alliance of three French companies, each a leader in their respective field, with the idea of adopting a social approach while maintaining the framework and rigor of entrepreneurship.
The Providence technology developed by OSHUN is unique. In addition to addressing the challenges of drinking water purification, Providence technology is energy-independent, easy to transport and maintain, connected in real time, and payable digitally at a fair price.
In Senegal, where the company operates, OSHUN produced and distributed 1,000,000 liters of water during the first year of operation, created 65 rural jobs in one year, 65% of which were held by women, and reduced waterborne diseases by 30% in adults and 80% in children.
