Women are a community's greatest resource, yet they're under-resourced.

In communities that lack access to safe, clean drinking water, women bear the burden of hauling it from distant springs. When children get sick because they lack adequate sanitation, it is women who care for them. Bound to their homes by the work of raising families, women often lack opportunities for employment. Women tend to be under-represented in church and community leadership, yet empowered, represented, and included women have the power to transform their communities.
