Women are Leading Climate Resilience in Timor-Leste

When extreme weather damaged the water system in Puquelete, a rural community in Timor-Leste, access to clean water became increasingly difficult. In this short documentary, Rosa Soares, a Water Facility Chief and community leader, shares how climate change impacted her village, the challenges families faced without reliable water, and how local people worked together with WaterAid to restore access to clean water. The story highlights the growing impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities and the vital role women play in leading solutions that strengthen resilience, health and wellbeing.
