Celebrating AfWA Women Leaders !

Hurray, it is time again to celebrate women's rights and showcase their accomplishments!!!!

The African Water Association (AfWA), in support of the theme for this year’s International Women’s Day, ‘Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World’ uses this occasion to express our appreciation to the wonderful AfWA Women’s Network for their resilience to ensure that women and children, regardless of their socio-economic, religious or ethnic background, enjoy sustainable water and sanitation, especially in this era of COVID-19 where such services are crucial to curb the spread of the pandemic.  The leaders of the various networks have been phenomenal in spearheading this course. Under the auspices of International Women's Day today, we celebrate and honor AfWA women leaders of our network, stellar overachievers, seemingly ordinary women accomplishing extraordinary deeds. 

Their contribution towards the fight against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been manifest in diverse ways, including:  disinfection of classrooms, administrative blocks and toilets of schools, distribution of personal protection equipment made up of boxes of masks and soap and construction of handwashing stations to promote handwashing with soap in schools.  They were also involved in organizing webinars to educate members and the general public on “Communication management of water and sanitation companies during the COVID-19 pandemic”; “Efforts by operators and professionals in the water, hygiene and sanitation sector in the fight against COVID-19”;  "Mechanisms for maintaining the quality of water and sanitation services in Africa and resilience in times of health crisis".

We celebrate AfWA's women leaders and honor them for their dedication that has brought the AfWA Women's Network this far.  Well done!!!
