Economic empowerment:

• Supports agriculture: Wells provide a consistent water source for irrigation, leading to more stable and abundant crops, fighting food insecurity, and helping communities become more self-sufficient.

• Boosts local economies: Reliable water access allows for the growth of various trades and frees up time and money previously spent on treating diseases or collecting water, enabling people to focus on income-generating activities.

• Increases school attendance:

• When children, particularly girls, don't have to spend hours collecting water, they can attend school more regularly, leading to better concentration and academic performance.

• Reduces the burden on women and girls: The responsibility for water collection often falls on them. Access to nearby wells frees up their time for education, jobs, and social activities.

• Strengthens community ties: Having a shared resource and a collective responsibility to manage it can enhance social connections and community cohesion.
