Theme: "Water and Gender"

Water management has a big impact on girl child education in Ghana! When water sources are far or unreliable, girls often miss school to fetch water, affecting their attendance and performance. Poor sanitation facilities also make girls vulnerable to harassment and drop out.

But when communities manage water resources well, girls get more opportunities:

•      More girls attend school regularlydisasters on women.
•      Reduced burden of water collection
•      Safer sanitation facilities boost confidence
•      More time for studies and personal growth
•      Education on judicious use of water
•     A call for investment in water efficient systems such as water closets and smart faucets
•     Protection of water resources

Water harvesting and storage tanks

In Ghana, organizations like AbibiNsroma Foundation and others are working on water projects that benefit girls' education.
