Our voyage began in MVEZOa small village on the Mbashe River.

The iconic touchstone bears the royal seal by “blood and custom” of the Thembu Chiefdom bestowed on Nelson Mandela.

Located in the district of Umtata in the Transkei, South Africa, it is the Birthplace of one of the world’s most respected leaders.

And our story is about the landscape, the village, the community and the everyday travails of their Journey to Water.

“Whilst access to clean water is a basic human right it is also a privilege. As a woman of Africa, I have never experienced the burden of thirst or been denied the right of use to clean water. Nor has anyone in my family or our children been ill or unthinkably died from waterborne disease. Since becoming aware of the dilemma of the rural women and children for whom the search for clean water is a daily, burdensome and often perilous task, I have sought a way to bring this precious resource closer to their homes. But for too long I have tried to champion the cause of water rights for rural women and children from the edge

of my desk or in the offices of those I thought may be interested to take up their cause. Whilst we await decisions to assist their plight, women & children remain without a voice.

Therefore, I have decided to take my office on-the-road to chronicle the story of

The Journey of Women toWater.

It is my hope that in telling their story we will find a way together to end water slavery in our country and thereby stop the unremitting cycle of poverty and hunger.”

The Forgotten Schools

and we uncover

Sunday 26 August 12

Journal EntrySeptember 2012

Our Journey takes us across Rural South Africa to chroniclethe touchstones of the pupils and teachers - what they hope for; what inspires their

dreams, their daily walk to water and school and the challenges of the 13 000 schools located here.

Sunday 26 August 12

The Forgotten Schools

Two-thirds of South African children, some as young as eight years old, who attend rural schools in some provinces travel to school on foot

up to 10 kilometres each morning.

Such exhausting conditions adversely affect the ability of these children to adequately participate in activities in the classroom.

This results in poor performance, non-attendance or regular absences. In particular, girls face the risk of sexual assault when walking several

hours to and from school each day.

Sunday 26 August 12

The Challenges

Over 19 million or 39% of South Africans live in rural areas.

80% of rural areas are commercial farming areas with low population densities.

70% of the country’s poorest households live in these areas and few of them are food self-reliant throughout the year.

Although access to basic water services has been provided to an additional 9 million people since 1994, this has been concentrated in the urban areas and, by 2006, 3.3 million people still lacked access to adequate, clean water supplies, with another 15.3 million being without access to sanitation services.

“In many rural areas, lack of managed

services means that people rely on

unmanaged local resources such as springs and rivers.

These are vulnerable to pollution and drought.”

Sunday 26 August 12

Our Invisible Children

The South African Department of Social Development found that nearly 100 000 households are

headed by children aged 10 to 17.

In essence, about 18 million South Africans live on less than $2 a day

which is far below The Living Standards Measure.

Educational disparities for girls and boys infringing the right to

education.

With unclean water sources often miles from villages, many children

are forced to spend hours each day simply finding and

transporting water.

“The lack of water is an often insurmountable

obstacle to helping oneself.”

* You can't build housing

Our Journey takes us to Carolina Town in Mpumalanga.

“In January 2012 heavy rains culminated in 82mm falling in two hours. Suddenly the dam that provided the town’s water had dangerous levels of heavy metals – associated with acid mine drainage – and its water plant could no longer handle the load. Locals were warned by the municipality and hospital not to drink the water,

or even wash in it.”

Here our touchstone is ACID MINE WATER POLLUTION

& “the devastating effects on a community with no access to clean water

due to a collective failure of water governance”

Rural Health “Is In Distress”

Rural areas, home to 43,6% of the population, are served by only 12% of South Africa's doctors and

19% of its nurses

There are 30 generalist doctors and 30 specialists per 100 000 people in urban areas, but only 13 generalists

and a mere 2 specialists per 100 000 people in rural areas

The ratio of professional nurses to the population is 82% greater in Gauteng than in Mpulamanga

Of the 1200 medical students graduating in SA yearly, only about 35 end up working in rural areas in

the longer term

Lest we forget...WATER IS LIFE

Sunday 26 August 12

Women are finding that they have to walk further and further to fetch water as it becomes increasingly scarce.

According to the Water for People, Water for Life, UNIFEM report

it has been calculated that in South Africa alone, women collectively walk the equivalent distance

of 16 times to the moon and back per day gathering water for their families.

Sunday 26 August 12

The daily task of carrying water over distances is back-breaking work for women & children.

Often, women carry loads of up to 50 lbs on the head, hip, or back. Over time, the strain can deform the spine and pelvis,

causing extreme pain and disability.

Sunday 26 August 12

Women And Children Are The Water Slaves..

The same women & children who spend much of their time in ill health, caring for sick children,

or laboriously collecting water at distances averaging

6 to 10 kilometers a day…

are denied educational and economic opportunities to better their lives.

In the image that follows next,the cycle of destruction emanating from a lack of clean water is graphically captured.

“If water needs boiling, it inevitably leads to fires. If fires are needed, so too comes the consequent damage to the ozone

and destruction of vegetation. Without vegetation, there is erosion,

and disappearance of ground cover for sustaining animals and plants.

And the cycle starts again tomorrow.”David Dodds, on an aerial survey

Women Are Our SAFETY NET

Over two thirds of all women in Africa are employed in the agricultural sector

& produce nearly 90%

“Please Heed Their call.”

Sunday 26 August 12

Women Are The Guardians

of Food Security

Women are responsible for growing, selling, buying and preparing food for their families

Yet even as the guardians of food security, they are still marginalised in business

relations and have minimal control over access to resources such as land, inputs such as improved seeds and fertilizer, credit and

technology.

A combination of logistical, cultural, and economic factors, coupled with a lack of gender statistics in the agricultural sector,

mean that agricultural programs are rarely designed with women’s needs in mind. As a

result, African women farmers have no voice in the development of

agricultural policies designed to improve their productivity.

Add Your Powerful Voice of Influence

Water For Women Foundation has instituted an easily accessible program of

support level Angels.

Sunday 26 August 12

Nature Angels Donate towards providing life-enhancing clean water for a small rural village, individual family, community center who are without infrastructure for clean water for drinking, washing and crop growing.

Earth Angels For absolutely everyone who cares and would like to help! It’s easy for everyone to participate; Donations can be made at www.wfwfoundation.com

Your support of any amount pays towards buying solar panels and pumps, bricks, pipes, cement, soap, installation, maintenance, education, seeds, transportation, fencing, electric cable or provides a rural family with water by donating towards a life giving solution.

Sunday 26 August 12

Water Angels: Adopt in its entirety a life-sustaining project for a Hospital or Clinic medical program: This is for medical support facilities throughout rural South Africa that do not

have clean water or disinfected wash water.

Unsafe Drinking water: The WFW Water Angels protect and save the lives of those most under threat due to a lack of

access to safe drinking water. And Rural Clinics are at the forefront of this often perilous consideration for the lives of

those at risk.

Your donation will provide rural clinics with safe water from the use ofSolar Desalination panels, providing pure, clean drinking water for medical use

- on any scale from any water source.

Project exampleJust Sixty 3Metre Panels provide 900 litres of drinking water and 2100 litres extra. This is a viable amount for a sample Clinic operating with 65 patients and 20 staff.

  Sponsor

One Panel or thousands! Your donation into the Water Angels will be allocated to medical projects across rural South Africa as they are identified according to the most urgent need.

Sunday 26 August 12

Platinum Angels: Adopt a Rural School program: This is for corporations, aid agencies, foundations or private

individuals to adopt a current project in totality. Such as the ones that have already been identified in Carolina,

where communities especially women and children have been most affected by the pollution caused by acid mine

drainage.

Your involvement could provide a rural school in South Africa with clean water for drinking, washing and crop

growing.

Platinum Angel Projects will be added as we travel across rural South Africa to tell the story of ‘Journey: Women to Water’.

The adoption of these schools, of which there are some 13000 in need, is open to innovative ideas; school or community twinning can offer considerable exchange of cultures and co-operation.

continuing visibility along the way, and well into the future.

Exhibitions and books will appear as an ongoing awareness campaign to assist the fundraising,

as the WfW program continues to provide for the disadvantaged.

As the Projects and installations are completed over time, there will be media coverage indicating all the details behind the scenes

and highlighting the results for the community.

Patience Mlengana: Notable entrepreneur, women of great faith. co-founder and director of Regro Technology and inspirational mentor to the women and children of South Africa.

“I first met Patience about 12 years ago when she was just establishing her business and I have seen her develop her vision and goals with a hands-on approach that is

absolute to the success she has achieved. Patience will stop at nothing to champion a cause that she believes in with an ever present persistence and positivity

that leaves no stone unturned. Her energy and faith literally breathes life into championing the cause for the women

and children of South Africa and their rights to water.” Ann Heystek.

“I grew up with limited access to water in my village and with no water or sanitation at school. I know what it’s like to have to collect water for the most basic of human needs and my heart goes out to these women and children who are born into this routine of fetching and in some cases finding water just to survive. I was fortunate to have found the support and opportunity to build a successful life for myself and my family. These women and children deserve the right to water and to the empowerment it will provide them to bring a new and different focus into their day whereby they can start to think about education, agriculture, sewing and other means to make a livelihood. Water rights are after all part of the constitution of South Africa. With more than 40% of our people living in rural areas the rights to water is just not stretching far enough. As women of Africa, Ann Heystek and I are fully committed to setting up local manufacture to bring the technology to enable this to our shores so that we can champion the cause to bring affordable clean water utilizing local content and provide much needed job security at the same time.”

“My objective is to bring awareness to the plight of women and children in rural areas throughout Africa, which will uplift and empower through education and funding initiatives that bring clean water to prevent life threatening water-borne diseases and to enable sustainable agriculture. 100 to 150 million people will be lifted out of hunger if women have access to vital resources such as water.

The Water for Women Foundation is launching a global "Water Is Life" campaign that entails a road trip across South Africa to compile the "Journey of Woman to Water" photo journalism series. Comprising a book, feature movie and E-Media promotion to assist with the fund raising to provide one million solar desalination panels to distressed women and children in rural areas.

It is our belief that in raising this awareness, governments across Africa will support our initiative to bring valuable technological expertise to our shores to enable the local manufacture and production of the solar panels, which will make them more affordable and therefore much more accessible to those in need.”

“Over the next 9 months to a year, I will be continuing our tour across rural South Africa to bring the environment and the plight of rural women and children into play through the lens of my camera.

The Journey will be one of beauty, wilderness, sadness, joy and celebration. I will be compiling a magnificent array of places to visit and explore along the route and will invite you along to join me to

write your experiences into our journal. Much of what we will discover will be sacred, tribal and part of the heritage and legacy of our beautiful country. One thing is for sure... it will never be the usual, as each story will be unique to the location,

the people, the landscape and the fauna and flora.

I look forward to meeting with you all and mostly for the amazing contribution your unique story

would bring to ours.”

Green Technology Manifesto“The Water For Women Foundation actively reviews and seeks safe and economical

solutions that employ the best practices in sustainable green technology to bring clean water to those in need.”

Potential manufacturing of water solutions in closer proximity to reduce costs is being pursued for the

African Continent by WfW.

Large scale cleaning and disinfectantsWith a founding base of forty years experience, originating from Africa, Dove Biotech of Thailand have extensive

leading edge nano-technologies for large scale water purification. These combine with an advanced organic disinfectant, Antinfek, an environmentally safe and longer lasting substitution for chlorine.

Solar Water Purification PanelsEase of deployment, safety and affordability; these are governing factors and the F Cubed panels from Australia

achieve this for affected rural communities. Other benefits include:reclamation of polluted water, water conservation, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture,

procurement of governmental investments in water infrastructure

Power and SustainabilityAs rural communities are most often out of the reach of municipal services, attention is paid to independent

alternatives for lights, heating and electrical operation of implements. Specialised Solar System in South Africa are employing their own extensive knowledge in Solar outcomes with research institutions that are concerned with

facilities such as water pumps, lights, cooking and communications: all focused on sustainability.

Footnote17 percent of the world's people lack access to safe water.

This is a human rights abuse of staggering proportion -- threatening more than a billion people and undermining a range of other human rights, including rights to health,

environmental sustainability, economic justice and peace.

Every year, nearly 1.8 million people (90 percent of them children under five) die from diarrhea caused by dirty water. Typhoid, cholera, and other deadly diseases are also

spread by contaminated water, bringing the death toll from water related diseases to a staggering 3.5 million people a year.

In fact, unsafe drinking water is the source of 80 percent of disease worldwide and kills more children every year than wars, malaria and HIV/AIDS combined.

Without clean water, it's nearly impossible for people to maintain good hygiene for themselves and their children.

Lack of personal hygiene contributes to the spread of infectious diseases and compromises people's dignity and confidence.

So that we never stop striving to seek solutions to their plight, and never forget..
