The Soroptimist Club in Kalmar Goes for Water

Abstract

Drinking water is still a big problem in many African countries. The Soroptimist club of Kalmar started therefore in 2008 to finance different water projects in Mali, in West Africa, in order to make water accessible for women who have to walk several kilometers a day in order to get some water. Thanks to the wells we have financed the women can now plant fruit trees and sell the products. The money goes to school fees for their children and to healthcare.
