Since the day that WomenServe founder, Nioma Sadler, sat at the kitchen tables of Rajasthani women in the Thar Desert, she has been committed to telling the compelling stories of these heroic women and their daughters.
Here are just a few we would like to share with you…
Nioma’s Story
The seed of WomenServe was planted in the heart of a young girl that was denied a formal education by her esoteric parents. But this perceived hardship would open up a world of imagination, big dreams, and bold visions as Nioma Sadler, founder of WomenServe, found herself through the stories of inspiring women.
When She Catches Rain
WomenServe collaborated with taanka (water catchment tank) recipients to produce this film and educate on the benefits of improved water security.
When families and communities have access to water, their quality of life improves. Women can provide for their families and girls can attend school. That’s why water security is key to social, economic and educational opportunity in this region.
With your help, we can make every raindrop count by catching water for these women and girls.
