If you're listening to this broadcast, the chances are you can get clean drinking water right from your kitchen sink. But much of the world's population does not have that luxury. In rural sub-Saharan Africa, the World Health Organization estimates that only about half of the population has access to clean water, and only 23% have access to hygienic sanitation facilities. The burden of this problem falls disproportionately on women and girls who literally carry the water for their communities. Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio is Gemma Bulos, the Executive Director and co-founder of an organization that works to solve the problem by empowering women as technicians and community leaders who build and sustain water-access technology. Bulos explains how the Global Women's Water Initiative builds capacity, the connection between water access and girls education, and the story of how she arrived at this world-changing work.
