Currently WEA's primary work in Africa is to co-coordinate the Global Women’s Water Initiative (GWWI) with organizations A Single Drop and Crabgrass. The GWWI is a joint initiative that equips local African women leaders with technology training, business skills, networking support, and seed funding to launch their own community-based clean water projects across Africa.

"Advancing gender equality, through reversing the various social and economic handicaps that make women voiceless and powerless, may also be one of the best ways of saving the environment…The voice of women is critically important for the world's future—not just for women's future. "
