Today is #WorldWaterDay! Reflecting on this year's global theme, 'Be The Change You Want To See', we envision a world where all women are empowered with consistent and convenient access to clean water for themselves and their families. 

200 million hours of women's and girls' time are wasted every single DAY as they toil and travel long distances to secure clean water for everything, from consuming, to cooking, to cleaning, to irrigation, and much more. All life depends on water, but women's lives, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, are completely consumed by it - to the point of oppression. 

We insist on a society that is working towards a transformation from 'Water Is Her Life' to 'Water Is Her RIGHT', and our programs are designed to catalyze that change. There are four key ways that The Sonder Project ensures that water is a fundamental right for women in Malawi and Burkina Faso:

1) Increasing access to clean water for women & girls by drilling deep-water wells in rural communities
2) Supplying year-round irrigation to women farmers on our solar-powered community farm
3) Distributing portal water filters to rural mothers who cannot access a clean water well
4) Empowering women with equal leadership and decision-making opportunities related to water management issues

You can support these efforts to ensure that #WaterIsHerRight by donating to The Sonder Project today. 100% of your donations go to supporting our programs on the ground thanks to our administrative costs being covered by our committed Board of Directors and Founding Partners. 

Be the change you want to see by following the link in our bio to support our campaign to fund the construction of 12 new deep-water wells in rural communities this year!
