to rural women and children.”
“Whilst access to clean water is a basic human right it is also a privilege. As a woman of Africa, I have
never experienced the burden of thirst or been denied the right of use to clean water. Nor has anyone in
my family or our children been ill or unthinkably died from waterborne disease. Since becoming aware of
the dilemma of the rural women and children for whom the search for clean water is a daily, burdensome
and often perilous task, I have sought a way to bring this precious resource closer to their homes. But for
too long I have tried to champion the cause of water rights for rural women and children from the edge
of my desk or in the offices of those I thought may be interested to take up their cause.
Whilst we await decisions to assist their plight, women & children remain without a voice.
Therefore, I have decided to take my office on-the-road to chronicle the story of
The Journey of Women toWater.
It is my hope that in telling their story we will find a way together to end water slavery
in our country and thereby stop the unremitting cycle of poverty and hunger.”

Sunday 26 August 12

23. The Forgotten Schools
Two-thirds of South African children, some as young as eight years old,
who attend rural schools in some provinces travel to school on foot
up to 10 kilometres each morning.
Such exhausting conditions adversely affect the ability of these children to
adequately participate in activities in the classroom.
This results in poor performance, non-attendance or regular absences.
In particular, girls face the risk of sexual assault when walking several
hours to and from school each day.

32. Lest we forget...
WATER IS LIFE
Sunday 26 August 12

33. Women are finding that they have to walk further and
further to fetch water as it becomes increasingly scarce.
According to
the Water for People, Water for Life, UNIFEM report
it has been calculated that in South Africa alone,
women collectively walk the equivalent distance
of 16 times to the moon and back per day
gathering water for their families.
Sunday 26 August 12

34. The daily task of carrying water over distances is
back-breaking work for women & children.
Often, women carry loads of up to 50 lbs on the head, hip, or back.
Over time, the strain can deform the spine and pelvis,
causing extreme pain and disability.

35. Women And Children Are
The Water Slaves..
The same women & children
who spend much of their time in ill health, caring for sick children,

In the image that follows next,
the cycle of destruction emanating from a lack of clean water is graphically captured.
“If water needs boiling, it inevitably leads to fires.
If fires are needed, so too comes the consequent damage to the ozone
and destruction of vegetation.
Without vegetation, there is erosion,
and disappearance of ground cover for sustaining animals and plants.
And the cycle starts again tomorrow.”

46. Water Angels: Adopt in its entirety a life-sustaining project
for a Hospital or Clinic medical program: This is for medical
support facilities throughout rural South Africa that do not
have clean water or disinfected wash water.
Unsafe Drinking water: The WFW Water Angels protect
and save the lives of those most under threat due to a lack of
access to safe drinking water. And Rural Clinics are at the
forefront of this often perilous consideration for the lives of
those at risk.
Your donation will provide rural clinics with safe water from the use of
Solar Desalination panels, providing pure, clean drinking water for medical use
- on any scale from any water source.
Project example
Just Sixty 3Metre Panels provide 900 litres of drinking water and 2100 litres extra.
This is a viable amount for a sample Clinic operating with 65 patients and 20 staff.
Sponsor
One Panel or thousands! Your donation into the Water Angels will be allocated to medical projects
across rural South Africa as they are identified according to the most urgent need.

is for corporations, aid agencies, foundations or private
individuals to adopt a current project in totality. Such as
the ones that have already been identified in Carolina,
where communities especially women and children have
been most affected by the pollution caused by acid mine
drainage.
Your involvement could provide a rural school in South
Africa with clean water for drinking, washing and crop
growing.
Platinum Angel Projects will be added as we travel across rural South Africa to tell the story of
‘Journey: Women to Water’.
The adoption of these schools, of which there are some 13000 in need, is open to innovative ideas;
school or community twinning can offer considerable exchange of cultures and co-operation.

Women to Water...
“My objective is to bring awareness to the plight of women and children in rural areas
throughout Africa, which will uplift and empower through education and funding initiatives that
bring clean water to prevent life threatening water-borne diseases and to enable sustainable
agriculture. 100 to 150 million people will be lifted out of hunger if women have access to vital
resources such as water.
The Water for Women Foundation is launching a global "Water Is Life" campaign that entails a
road trip across South Africa to compile the "Journey of Woman to Water" photo journalism
series. Comprising a book, feature movie and E-Media promotion to assist with the fund raising
to provide one million solar desalination panels to distressed women and children in rural areas.
It is our belief that in raising this awareness, governments across Africa will support our initiative
to bring valuable technological expertise to our shores to enable the local manufacture and
production of the solar panels, which will make them more affordable and therefore much more
accessible to those in need.”

60. Green Technology Manifesto
“The Water For Women Foundation actively reviews and seeks safe and economical
solutions that employ the best practices in sustainable green technology
to bring clean water to those in need.”
Potential manufacturing of water solutions in closer proximity
to reduce costs is being pursued for the
African Continent by WfW.
Large scale cleaning and disinfectants
With a founding base of forty years experience, originating from Africa, Dove Biotech of Thailand have extensive
leading edge nano-technologies for large scale water purification. These combine with an advanced organic
disinfectant, Antinfek, an environmentally safe and longer lasting substitution for chlorine.
Solar Water Purification Panels
Ease of deployment, safety and affordability; these are governing factors and the F Cubed panels from Australia
achieve this for affected rural communities. Other benefits include:
reclamation of polluted water, water conservation, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture,
procurement of governmental investments in water infrastructure
Power and Sustainability
As rural communities are most often out of the reach of municipal services, attention is paid to independent

63. Footnote
17 percent of the world's people lack access to safe water.
This is a human rights abuse of staggering proportion -- threatening more than a billion
people and undermining a range of other human rights, including rights to health,
environmental sustainability, economic justice and peace.
Every year, nearly 1.8 million people (90 percent of them children under five) die from
diarrhea caused by dirty water. Typhoid, cholera, and other deadly diseases are also
spread by contaminated water, bringing the death toll from water related diseases to a
staggering 3.5 million people a year.
In fact, unsafe drinking water is the source of 80 percent of disease worldwide and kills
more children every year than wars, malaria and HIV/AIDS combined.
Without clean water, it's nearly impossible for people to maintain good hygiene for
themselves and their children.
Lack of personal hygiene contributes to the spread of infectious diseases and
compromises people's dignity and confidence.
So that we never stop striving to seek solutions to their plight,
and never forget..
