THE POWER OF WATER

Water connects every aspect of life. Access to safe water and sanitation can quickly turn problems into potential – empowering people with time for school and work, and contributing to improved health for women, children, and families around the world.

A WOMAN'S CRISIS

Women are disproportionately affected by the water crisis, as they are often responsible for collecting water. This takes time away from work, school, and caring for family members. The lack of water and sanitation locks women in a cycle of poverty. 

Empowering women is critical to solving the water crisis. When women have access to safe water at home, they can pursue more beyond water collection and their traditional roles. They have time to work and add to their household income.
