Access to safe water is an essential foundation for good health, but beyond this, it also closes inequality gaps and drives economic and social inclusion, with far-reaching and long-term benefits.
For example women’s safety and security increases as a direct result of access to safe, drinkable water in their homes.
This is because, 90% (in Africa) of the water collecting work is done by women and girls. This burden takes away from time spent at work, socialising and caring for family members. Water collection locks women in rural communities into a repetitive cycle of poverty.
Thanks so much to our supporters who are helping us to provide safe water wells to more communities.
