Everyday life starts to change when a community receives access to clean water, and the impact adds up—literally.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that every $1 invested in joint water supply and sanitation provides a $4.30 economic return. These women are proving that it's true.
Mariam used to juggle managing her restaurant with crossing a busy road to collect water several times a day. She'd leave to get the water she needed and return to long lines of unhappy customers. Now, with access to clean water at her local market, she's able to give her full attention to her business. And her profits show the results: Before, she would barely exceed $18 in daily revenue. Now, she's making about $65 a day!
Bharukala uses clean water to maintain her vegetable garden. She sells the produce for extra income—approximately $25 a month—and uses it to buy school supplies, medicine, and other essentials for her family. But she's gained more than additional income. She shared, "The project has not only met the water needs in the village, it has also supported women empowerment here. We now take part in various public events and share our views on the issues related to us without any hesitation."
Before, Workezeb and her family would walk an hour and a half each day to collect dirty water. But now, with a new water system in her community, she has enough clean water to meet all of her family's needs. She even has enough water (and time!) to make and sell Arekie, a local specialty drink, earning an additional $8 per month.
