Women and girls shouldn’t have to choose between going to school, going to work or collecting water, but for far too many women and girls in Malawi this is precisely the choice they must make. Access to safe water doesn’t just improve health, it gives them the time they need to finish their education, to earn money for themselves and their families and to look forward to positive futures. This international women’s day we’re raising awareness of the relationship between women and water.

Across the globe, water has been crucial in the fight against COVID-19 and cholera, making the value of water more recognised than ever which is why Pump Aid is taking part in the UN’s 30th World Water Day campaign on 22nd March as part of our matchfunding campaign.
