Clean water for all: Building inclusive water services

Droughts expose vulnerabilities in basic public services, particularly in Indonesia where severe El Niño conditions are expected this year. Women, people with disabilities, low-income families, and remote communities are disproportionately affected by inadequate water infrastructure. Inclusive water services are vital for equal access and dignity.

For instance, a school in East Nusa Tenggara that previously lacked accessible facilities for a wheelchair user, Devina, now allows her to manage personal needs independently. The change began with listening to her needs and adapting the environment accordingly. This shift is crucial for empowering marginalized groups and ensuring equitable access to essential services.
