With guest Alice Kamau of Food for the Hungry Rwanda

We all know that access to clean water is crucial for health and hygiene, but have you ever considered the impacts clean water can also have on human dignity, empowerment, and self-esteem? 

In this episode, Alice Kamau, country director of FH Rwanda, dives into the ripple effects that clean water is having in the community of Bwira. Beyond improved health, less time and energy spent fetching water also means more time and energy for shaping a thriving community. From robust harvests, to increased school attendance, to women feeling empowered in their homes, clean water is more than just a basic necessity—it’s a catalyst for change!
