Que sont les ODD ?
Les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) constituent un appel à l'action lancé à tous les pays – pauvres, riches et à revenu intermédiaire – afin de promouvoir la prospérité tout en protégeant la planète. Ils reconnaissent que l'éradication de la pauvreté doit aller de pair avec des stratégies favorisant la croissance économique et répondant à divers besoins sociaux, notamment l'éducation, la santé, la protection sociale et l'emploi, tout en luttant contre le changement climatique et en protégeant l'environnement.
Réduire la violence sexiste grâce à l'accès à l'eau potable
Since its launch, the Bright Future initiative led by Eugenie has provided 250 households in Agateko Cell, Rwanda, with direct access to clean water through a nearby tap point.
This has reduced the time women and girls spend collecting water and lowered the risk of gender-based violence during travel. Reports of assaults have dropped, and 30 vulnerable households now receive free water and soap.
Over 250 individuals, primarily rural women, have been trained in gender rights, hygiene, and small business skills. Family conflicts have decreased as couples engage in gender balance workshops, sharing responsibilities more equitably.
Bright Future is a community-driven project addressing gender-based violence through clean water access, public awareness, and support services. Despite challenges like limited funding and cultural skepticism, Eugenie successfully forged partnerships with WASAC (Rwanda’s national water utility), local leaders, and health workers.
Her work is transforming social norms, fostering inclusion, and improving the community’s well-being.
