The biblical reflection for the first of the Seven Weeks for Water 2015 is by Kuzipa Nalwamba, an ordained minister of the United Church of Zambia (UCZ), who is currently pursuing her PhD from University of Pretoria. She highlights the undeniable underlining gap between men and women’s political, economic and social conditions, contribution and participation, which also gets reflected on access to water. More often than not, the burden of meeting water needs for the families, unfairly rests on the women.
