Welcome to Empower.

Talk to any girl in Africa and she will tell you exactly what she wants.

She wants an education. She wants a career. She wants to make a contribution other than to the household.

She wants to be a teacher, a lawyer, a politician, a world leader.

A financially independent woman.

There’s something stopping these girls fulfilling their dreams. Fulfilling dreams that we take for granted.

Water.

Access to water.

Lack of access to safe water and sanitation is the primary reason girls drop out of school. African culture sees a women’s place as in the kitchen, looking after the family and collecting water for their household. In Sub Saharan African, 68% of the rural population spend more than 1 hour per trip of water collection making it impossible for girls to attend school.

Safe water unlocks a community’s girls to learn, to develop and to experience the life they want to lead.

Here at Empower, we need your help.

We need your help to give these girls the freedom to carry out their dreams and the only way to do this is with convenient access to safe and clean water.

Just £1 can make the difference.

Donate what you can and come on this journey with us, to empower these African girls today, for a freer and happier tomorrow.
