Safe Water Network addresses gender disparities in India, where women collect 80% of water in remote areas and care for those with waterborne illnesses. Small Water Enterprises (SWEs) offer a solution, providing safe water and freeing up women's time for education and work. The iJal Women’s Empowerment Programme, launched in Telangana's Medak district, fosters female entrepreneurship through self-help groups, benefiting over 170 women and 150,000 community members. Safe Water Network plans to expand and optimize this program, exploring distribution for SHG-run stations. It advocates for continued efforts by the Government, policymakers, and funders to empower women in water access and provision.
