Water is life and should be accessible to all, however many communities like Matangari in Thoyondou, Limpopo have faced years of severe water scarcity, which has affected thousands of residents and limited their opportunities for growth and development.

No one gets left behind.
Empowering women means recognising that every generation matters. From older women building stronger livelihoods, to young women creating their own opportunities, and young girls who can benefit from the stronger families and communities around them.

Why we began? Why we continue.
Since its inception in 1991, WDB Trust was established in response to a reality that could not be ignored: women made up the majority of people living in poverty and often experienced its effects more acutely.

The response was to invest in women’s development, create opportunities and strengthen the organisations working to advance women’s lives. 35 years later, that purpose remains at the heart of WDB Trust.
Why we began still matters. And so does the work ahead.
