EMPOWERMENT

Empowerment is the process by which those who have been denied ability to make choices acquire such ability- Kabeer (2015). We empower communities who lack basic clean water by offering long term solutions such as better hygiene and sanitation. Women and children spend an average of three to six hours per day collecting water from distant sources. Their time could be spent in other developmental activities like education, economic investiments and socialization. Women and children's self esteem improves which empowers them to do more in their communities.
