Very proud of the project just completed with @LeadForGhana to improve school infrastructure in Baworo. A $5,902 investment from World Connect + a $1,603 from the community = improved education environment, which leads to greater economic opportunity. #powerinsidecommunities
Incredible #beforeandafter in Jali, #GasaboDistrict, #Rwanda, just outside of #Kigali!
Before:
Women scaling steep terrain to collect water, at risk for injury, rape, #GBV. The terrain is so complex, our country director @RKKanyesigye couldn't trek the full way with the women.
After!
With a $4,700 investment from World Connect and a community co-investment of $650, a new water source was built in just 3 months!
✔️ clean water
✔️ safety for women
✔️ more time for school and work
