OUR APPROACH
ORS & Zinc have saved millions of lives in recent decades. However, they are tragically under-used by some of the communities most in need worldwide.
Our intervention focuses upon increasing ORS & Zinc usage in Nigeria and Chad. Our Kano Pilot report, Phase 2 Overview and Blog Updates give more detail.
Clear Solutions partners with Community Health Worker organisations to reach the communities who can benefit most from ORS and Zinc. We focus on supporting and collaborating with existing health organisations.
We welcome potential collaborators from healthcare organisations in sub-Saharan Africa, local and international non-governmental organisations, and aligned charities. Please do contact us.
