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.
