Hewa Tele ("Abundant Air" in Swahili) is a social enterprise focused on saving lives through the creation of effective oxygen systems supported by affordable quality medical oxygen to health facilities in Kenya. TTS funding of $1M from GCC will support the set-up of two new facilities and three depots to enhance distribution in these two and surrounding counties. The funding required for the set-up and launch of one plant has the ability to serve 5M people. Over a three-year period, Hewa Tele expects to provide access to medical oxygen for more than 11,000 women and children that would not otherwise have access to oxygen and save over 600 lives through the provision of medical oxygen.
