Facilitated by Deborah Payne (MPH and Director of Health Education for MedWater). Indigenous women in Ecuador exist within a patriarchal system that largely defines their experience as women. Kichwa women follow traditional roles in the household, preparing food, raising children, and serving as water managers. Fundacion MedWater, a non-governmental organization serving in the Amazon, has developed standards for engaging women in water and sanitation management and operations. This process has both improved the design of programming for the organization as well as improved specific WASH outcomes in communities.
