Women constitute a cornerstone for the PWP, considering that they play an essential role in the development of a community. The PWP has made women-oriented projects top priority. Embodying this attention to women’s needs, are projects that have been implemented, especially water projects.

The PWP has made interventions in the water sector by building water tanks, reservoirs or distribution networks. These projects have left a profound impact on the lives of people, especially women of Yemen reducing their daily hardships. Women waste most of their day hours fetching water, considering that this is their primary responsibility, but this is on account of all other responsibilities, such as education, capacity building, and gaining new skills.

Provision of water allowed women to enroll in school, as it has been the case of Salma, in the Jida’an area of Marib. Salma used to waste her entire day fetching water for domestic use. But this was before an intervention by the PWP, which built a tower-tank in Salma’s area. Water-harvesting reservoirs have had a profound impact on saving women and girls’ lives, especially in areas were women were vulnerable to drowning in cisterns, such as the one in the village of al-I’aer, in the Governorate of Amran, and in al-Najd area in the Governorate of Ibb.
