Today, 22 of March, is World Water Day.
“I used to be very shy. I would sit in the back rows in meetings. Over time, as I took part in the awareness-raising campaigns of the Swiss Water Programme in Aswan, I began to speak up more and even gave a presentation on efficient water use,“ says Fatma Eissa, sitting in the center of the front row during a meeting of a women’s group in Aswan that is helping to spread awareness on efficient water use.
The women’s groups were established as part of the Swiss Water Programme in Aswan that is supplying potable water to 100,000 people in Aswan’s Nasseriya settlement.
