Water scarcity is a great threat to development because it affects human health, food security, and the natural environment.Water Empowerment aims to empower communities lacking water by offering long term solutions: education about water rights, education about water laws and education about what other communities with similar dilemmas are doing to lessen the effects of water scarcity.We are run by volunteers and are dependent on grassroots assistance to get the information out to communities with little resources. We also depend on the grassroots movement to educate us on cheap methods for conserving water, cleaning water supplies or better sanitation options. Knowledge is power!
