Imagine having to trek several kilometers each day to carry jerry cans filled with water back to your home: this is still the daily reality for millions of women in Southern countries.
In many regions of sub-Saharan Africa, it is women who are responsible for the water fetching burden due to cultural norms and customs. This time-consuming chore involves carrying excessive weights (especially for young girls) sometimes over long distances. This has a significant impact on the health and well-being of women and girls.
One of the goals of the Morija WASH project is to alleviate this burden by providing access to clean water near homes and schools through drilling boreholes and rehabilitating wells. By bringing water sources closer to communities, women and girls save time and energy, improving their access to education, economic opportunities, and better health.
