Women Empowered by Water

Episode Summary

In today’s podcast, I’m talking with Monica Ellis, CEO of the Global Environment and Technology Foundation (GETF) and CEO of the Global Water Challenge coalition which has launched Women for Water. Women for water is a clean water and women’s empowerment action platform advancing gender equity by empowering women and girls in 10,000 communities through water access, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and life skills programs by 2030. Stay tuned while Monica and I discuss what led her to help women one drop at a time, her work with GETF, The Global Water Challenge, and Women for water. We’ll discuss how each of these organizations is working to help empower women by 2030, and the groundbreaking study that is helping to lead the charge.
