When we give a village clean water, we also give its women privacy, dignity, health, and security.
The burden of water scarcity falls to women and young girls. They have to spend hours each day, walking an average of 3.7 miles to carry heavy loads of water. This work limits their opportunities and quality of life.
GIFT OF TIME:
By bringing water closer to home, we give women the invaluable gift of time. That's time they can spend learning, starting businesses, and engaging in activities that contribute to the development of their families and communities.
PRIVACY AND DIGNITY:
Improved water access also provides privacy and dignity, offering women and girls the opportunity to bathe and meet other sanitation needs in privacy.
HEALTH & FINANCIAL SECURITY:
The Living Water Project’s approach is simple but powerful. By empowering women, we not only improve their health and access to clean water, we also enhance their ability to improve their financial security and overall livelihoods. Through water, women empower themselves and their communities thrive.
