Inclusive decision-making strengthens social cohesion. It is undeniable. When women have an equal role in designing, managing, and monitoring water systems, there is a positive impact on the long-term sustainability of safe water outcomes. We see this every day. And to the women making it so, we see you.

We see you, and we support you. An important part of inclusion is training, and in the EOS plumbing workshop held in the department of Cabañas in El Salvador, almost thirty women representing five water systems gather enthusiastically. They hold positions on their water boards – secretary, president, member. They are health promoters. They are mothers. They are caretakers of not only their families, but also of their communities.

By investing in women, we can spark change and speed the transition towards a healthier, safer, and more equal world for all.
