💧 Climate change disproportionately affects women and girls, especially regarding water supply and WASH: 🚰 Women spend more time collecting water as it becomes scarcer. ⏰ Globally, they lose 200 million hours daily to water collection, impacting education and livelihoods. 💡 We can give them their time back by engineering clean water infrastructure. 🩸 Women's needs for private restrooms and clean water are crucial. 🚽 But less water means less functional sanitation systems, affecting health and education. 📚 In some regions, girls miss up to 20% of school due to menstruation. 🏥 Healthcare facilities lack sanitation services, impacting maternal health. 🌍 Let's engineer sustainable WASH systems for a brighter, healthier future visit ewb-usa.org/climate. #ClimateChange #WASH #EngineeringResilience

🌸 This Mother's Day, we're honoring the incredible women who are engineering community resilience around the world. Meet Amina Maulana and Christina, two inspiring mothers from our partner communities, who are making a difference every day. Amina shares her joy about the Water and Sanitation project at Naisi Health Facility, providing clean water for mothers and their families. Christina, emphasizes the importance of water in their daily lives and how it contributes to their community's well-being, which is why she serves as the Vice President of Chaquijya's water committee. Join us in celebrating these remarkable women by reposting this with a story of a mother you know who is making a difference in her community. Together, let's support more moms like Amina and Christina by supporting resilience at ewb-usa.org/climate. This week, our board of directors is matching donations, doubling the impact of your gift! 💧💪 #MothersDay #CommunityResilience #StrongMoms

After Hurricane Ida, the Grand Caillou/ Dulac Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw Tribe, located near the Gulf Coast in Louisiana was devastated. Vital infrastructure was destroyed, AND they were stripped of vital community gathering spaces. They are now working with the Community Engineering Corps and the Purdue University EWB-USA Chapter, along with other key partners to design a resiliency center engineered to withstand Category 4 Hurricanes and serve as a cultural hub during fairer weather. 🌪️💪 Learn more about this vital project and how EWB-USA is combating climate change 👉 https://lnkd.in/g3PpeukM Donate now and double your impact! 💸 #ClimateResilience #CommunityEngineering #DonateMatch

Do you enjoy spiced baked goods🍪, chai lattes☕, or even curry🍛? One of the main ingredients in all of these recipes is cardamom🌱! Guatemala is the world's leading producer and exporter of this ubiquitous spice. However, climate change and deforestation pose great challenges for small-holder farmers and processors in Guatemala's cardamom industry. Learn more about how we're partnering with community members and other non-profits to engineer resilience💪!
