RESULTS OF OUR WORK

Investing together with rural women in sustainable solutions, such as dry toilets, water tanks and growing local tree varieties we tackle the challenges in local communities related to the availability of clean water, proper sanitation, and fertile farmland. Training local ambassadors and sanitation champions is a crucial part of this effort; they play a key role in promoting sanitation and sustainability within their communities.
