The Global Women’s Water Initiative (GWWI) is a joint venture of international organizations A Single Drop, Crabgrass, and Women’s Earth Alliance.
The GWWI equips local African women leaders with technology training,
business skills, networking support, and seed funding to launch water
service projects across Africa that have the potential to become
income-generating.
The Global Women’s Water Initiative is a collaborative venture among
these three international organizations, each bringing a unique set of
expertise. Their combined experiences, partnerships, and insights
enhance each other’s ability to achieve broader impact.
GWWI Partners:
A Single Drop (ASD)
brings experience in technology transfer and organizational development
from their social entrepreneurial programs- Safe Water for the
Philippines and Women Water Stewards in Africa. ASD coordinates the
appropriate technology, WASH Education, on-the-ground follow-up
training, and project implementation components for the Global Women’s
Water Initiative.
Crabgrass
is a human rights organization that has addressed water and other
issues since 1985. Crabgrass’s participation in the GWWI is built upon
their three International Women and Water Conferences held in South
Asia: one in Varanasi, India; one in Kathmandu, Nepal; and one in
Dehradun, India. Crabgrass coordinates the research, strategy, and
finance components of the GWWI.
Women’s Earth Alliance (WEA)
brings an international network of information-sharing and pro-bono
support, as well as access to web-based technology and network
facilitation. WEA coordinates the information technology aspects of
network support, and helps with follow-up funding opportunities through
microfinance or other means. WEA also coordinates the PR components of
the GWWI. For more information, email womenandwater@gmail.com or call (415)
