SI is delighted to report that the project is now in full swing and the development of a rainwater harvesting and filtration system is progressing well. If you have been following the progress of the five Penan girls undergoing their Diploma in Welding in Kuala Lumpur, the great news is that they have now completed their studies.
The SI President's Appeal 'Women, Water & Leadership' Appeal, has provided a $1,000.00 grant to Victoria Hinojosa to facilitate her participation in H2O Global Leaders and Water Innovation Lab training. The funding, originally donated to the Appeal by Soroptimist International Director of Advocacy, Beverly Bucur, embraces a key objective of the 'Women, Water & Leadership' - to ensure that women are empowered, and have the capacity, experience, and education needed to lead in water-related industries.
The Soroptimist International President’s Appeal ‘Women, Water & Leadership’ is working with women, girls and communities in Sabah and Sarawak, rural Malaysia, where communities lack access to a clean and safe supply of water, for cooking and drinking purposes.
