"From digging for water in riverbeds to simply turning on a tap." This is the reality for communities in Hurungwe today.
Access to clean, reliable water has reduced the burden on women and girls, improved household health and sanitation, strengthened food security through nutrition gardens, and created new income opportunities that are helping families build resilient livelihoods and a brighter future.
Too often, stigma and discrimination and other barriers prevent people most at risk for HIV from accessing prevention, testing and treatment services.
We can only end HIV as a public health threat if everyone, everywhere, can access the lifesaving health care they need.
Threshers and other labour-saving technologies are transforming the lives of women farmers in rural Zimbabwe, reducing drudgery, saving time, improving productivity, and creating opportunities for income generation and leadership. #ClimateResilience#WomenInAgriculture
