One more businesstrip
Directly after our trip to Ghana we went on to Nairobi in Kenya. There we took part in another business trip organized by AHK Kenya and German Water Partnership. Also here the interest was very big and we were able to make some interesting contacts. After the delegation trip we went to Lake Victoria, because so many people still use the water directly from the lake, also to drink. So we could present our #whatabird to the inhabitants of Dunga Bay near Kisumu and show that the water is clear and free of bacteria, if it was pumped through the #whatabird before. With this in mind, many thanks to Patty.
Delegationtrip to Ghana
At the beginning of November we made a delegation trip to Ghana together with 9 other German companies that also work in the water sector. We made many new contacts and hope that our “what-a-bird” will soon be available in Ghana.
Meeting our suplliers
We had a great and a successful time in China. It was a pleasure for us, to meet our suppliers and to visit the factories, where the what-a-bird is made.
We found business partners and new friends!
