IRC is running the CPC for gender equality

Team IRC is participating in the City Pier City Run The Hague on International Women's Day (8th March 2020) and the Night Walk on 6th March, to raise funds for women's capacity building workshops with our Odisha project in India.

Our campaign, She Makes Change, celebrates women globally as change makers and highlights the importance of women's full participation in water, sanitation and hygiene decision making

Will you run or fundraise with us? Visit our She Makes Change project page on the right, and 'start a campaign' to support women in India.

With our target amount of € 2,500, we will facilitate three one-day workshops for 48 women from four different areas in the Ganjam district, Odisha, India. These workshops provide women with the knowledge and skills to pave the way for increased women's participation in decision making in water and sanitation committees, local government and even further.

Not only will this improve safe water, sanitation and hygiene service provision, but the skills, knowledge and confidence learned will strengthen these women to stand up for all of their rights, pursue their ambitions, and demand a better life for themselves, their family, and their community.

This is not just about water and sanitation - these are skills for life.
