Saha was born and raised in Togo, West Africa. In 2013, Saha joined the Integrate Health team in Togo where she worked as the community outreach coordinator and later was part of the team that launched the Maternal and Child Health pilot program. Eager to explore her love for women’s empowerment, Saha left IH in 2015 to join Pathways Togo, a girl’s education NGO where she led the middle and high school program. While assisting young scholars and advocating for their rights to education, Saha saw first-hand the challenges girls face due to social perceptions of women’s role in society. This experience motivated her to go to graduate school, to strengthen her human rights advocacy skills. She moved to the United States in 2017, expecting to achieve that goal. Saha is happy and grateful for the opportunity to re-join the Integrate Health team on the US side, where she is hoping to contribute to the amazing work that IH is doing in her home country. On her first day of work in April 2020, she said, “it feels like home”!
