DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Act 4 Sustainable Solutions is dedicated to improving clean water access in the Vallée de l'Ouémé region of Benin through the distribution of high-quality Ceramic pot water filters to make a significant impact on the community's well-being.
Their model is based on leveraging existing networks, including schools, social groups, village chiefs, and farming cooperatives to ensure an effective distribution process and encourage community engagement and sustainability. In terms of payment, the team will provide two affordable payment options to help the local community: (1) subsidized rates for households paying in full and (2) an upfront fee paired with installment payments corresponding to the crop cycle.
The Act 4 Sustainable Solutions team comprises Dossa Martin Boton, an environmental and water specialist, and Thierry Adje and David Montcho, a medical doctor and nurse respectively. Their expertise and passion drive the organization's mission to create lasting positive change in the community.
