Closing Thoughts

I have enjoyed learning about the water and gender issues in Africa and it would appear that there is much evidence now beginning to emerge of successful projects, which gives me hope that progress is being made. It would appear that a virtuous cycle is now emerging. I posit that once women gain confidence within their society that they are valuable, they will have more self-believe that they do contribute useful skills and knowledge. Perhaps this will inspire more women to take a stance on unjust living conditions, and hopefully this is the beginning of the end for many situations in the West that we just take for granted.
