Women gathering water from a nicely-built up spout in Patan (one of the more beautiful parts of Kathmandu). Some women, especially in villages, walk 2 to 3 hours a day and then wait in line for an hour or two for water each day. They then carry everything they need: for cooking, bathing, laundry.
Part of the work that we are doing through COSAN is getting water access closer to women's homes. This then eases their work load, and ultimately allows for more time and freedom.
