Investing in water is an investment in women

Investing in water is investing in potential. With access to safe water at home, Sandra and her family spend less time collecting water and can spend more time pursuing income generating activities like raising her cattle. 

Sandra's small loan was made possible by Soul Sister women group through village saving and lending.

Within the communities we serve, women are the most affected by the water crisis, and women are finding value in financing a water connection or toilet. With water and toilets connected at home, women are able to do more than collect water, like work or care for family. Their repaid loans create a healthy lending system that makes loans possible for more households.

This means more families like Sandra's can experience the time savings of access to safe water and sanitation at home. It’s a cycle that continues to reach more people, creating new opportunities for families around the county.
