WATER AFRICA PROJECT

At Caveman, our core CSR activities have been centred on water and sanitation because we strongly believe these to be the foundations for socio-economic community development.

ACCESSING POTABLE WATER IN GHANA

Globally, it is projected that more than 700 million people do not have access to adequate drinking water services; most of the population in sub-Saharan Africa are impacted. In Ghana, statistics show that there is a great deal of inequality in the water supply system, with some segments of the population still stripped of sustainable access to water.

According to officials of the Ghana Coalition of NGOs in water and sanitation (CONIWAS), 98% of residents in urban areas are expected to have connections to clean water compared to 50% in the northern region. The SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) 6 mandate all countries to achieve universal and equitable access to clean and safe drinking water for all their citizens. In order for Ghana to achieve its SDG6, investors, donors and volunteers need to help address and bridge the gap in the imbalanced distribution of water in order to guarantee that Ghanaians have access to reliable potable water everywhere.

OUR FRAMEWORK

In dialogue with our stakeholders, we have developed the Caveman Water Africa Project. This is the focal point of our CSR program and provides a coherent framework for leveraging our presence in order to meaningfully and beneficially, impact our local communities and our stakeholders through proceeds from sales of the water Africa watch and clock models.

OUR APPROACH

We are always looking into new and diverse opportunities to support the development of communities in Ghana and welcome approaches from like-minded community-based initiatives where we can be of some assistance. We recognize that the sustainable growth of our business depends on our unwavering commitment to good corporate governance, the development and engagement of our people, proactively identifying and mitigating risks and the sound partnerships that we build with our customers and our local communities. Corporate social responsibility is therefore an integral part of our everyday work.

Our approach to CSR is wide-ranging and focuses on initiatives that make a marked difference in the betterment of our people and the communities in Ghana. Our primary CSR focus area is the development and support of water deprived communities through water provision projects which are sustainable and measurable.
