Equality
Access to clean water empowers women toward a more equitable future.
A lack of clean water affects every aspect of a person’s life.
The solution should too.
200 million
women and children spend 200 million hours per day collecting water
80%
of households leave women and girls responsible for collecting water
40 billion
hours are spent by women in sub-Saharan Africa collecting water each year
The good news is that providing a community with access to clean water can profoundly impact equality for women.
For 30 years, we’ve been serving the extreme rural poor with the world’s most sustainable water hygiene and sanitation solution.
In our project area of Kicuzi, we have seen the following impact:
100%
of women now report feeling safe while collecting water
118%
increase in households collecting water in under 30 minutes
100%
increase in formal and self-employment
A lack of water affects every aspect of a person’s life. The solution should too.
