Yemeni women are prime beneficiaries from water subprojects implemented by the PWP this year under the YECRP – a program funded by the World Bank and administered by UNDP. Usually, women are primarily responsible for fetching water to their homes for domestic use. For that, they have to travel rough roads and long distances under merciless scorching sun to reach the water source.

The interventions by the PWP in the water sector has alleviated the hardship suffered by women and improved the public health situation in the communities. This has saved women time and allowed them to enroll in schools instead of wasting their entire day on fetching water.
