Prosales links corporate responsibility with sales competence
A challenge for all social innovations is finding the quickest route to financial sustainability. In the developing
world one way to facilitate sales is by combining subsidies with micro-savings. The Swedish company
Prosales was attracted by this solution and identified an opportunity to link their core activity - developing
sales competence - with a Solvatten project which provides education and supports savings groups.
This project enabled representatives from the Kenyan organization KOWLF to market and sell Solvatten
through solidarity savings groups in Mwingi and Mombasa in Kenya. A Prosales representative met with the
Kenyan sales team to exchange ideas on how to sell new groundbreaking technology.
Thanks to Prosales, Solvatten now reaches hundreds of families in Kenya!

Middagsfrid purchase enables CO2 reductions
Approximately 5 000 people have benefited as they now have a tool to use sunlight
to heat water and reduce their use of enviromentally-damaging fuels. And at the
same time the project enabled Middagsfrid to compensate for their carbon emissions
for a year. The collaboration between Solvatten AB, Tricorona and Middagsfrid
demonstrated carbon offsetting in a way that significantly improves lives and the
local environment – what better way to do this?

bringing more Solvatten to the world!

More web campaigns generating Solvatten
The Swedish Telge Energy company launched their web campaign just before
Christmas 2012, asking customers and visitors to their website to vote for the best
charitable initiative. They received more than 3000 votes. Thanks to all the recognition
we can now ship more Solvatten to where they do most good, in the hands of families
without access to safe water.
