Ninety-one per cent of the indigenous population of Panama's remote Ngäbe-Buglé Region suffers from extreme poverty, including lack of access to safe water and sanitation. This project, supported by the MDG-F, empowered the people of four villages in the area -- particularly women -- to take charge of the creation, management and maintenance of their own water resources.
