Today (11th November) is: Remembrance Day!

Today on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, a minute’s silence is observed and dedicated to those soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation. At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted the allied terms of unconditional surrender. The conflict had mobilised over 70 million people, left between 9 and 13 million dead, and as many as one third of these with no grave.Originally known as Armistice Day, it was renamed Remembrance Day after World War Two to commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars. Today the loss of Australian lives from all wars and conflicts is commemorated. We will remember them. Lest we forget. https://www.army.gov.au/about-us/history-and-research/traditions/remembrance-day

Hi Everyone, on today’s podcast I had Wendy Tisdell Founding Director Bridgit Water Foundation: is about providing cost effective water infrastructure facilities to rural communities in developing countries living in water crisis. They want to provide water to bridge between the people that have and the people living in poverty as cost effectively as they can-they are right in the middle. ⁠https://www.bridgitwater.org/⁠ https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/kayla5383/?fbclid=IwY2xjawN5ACJleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFsYTFQQzNmd3VvTFoxNnRxc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHqr5EqcLIpX7mX1Xa4Hq-oj9JPRTMiDxIUMcqU9JlT6L2bbmFwxvFkyDekPZ_aem_AI99yHq7xbElwNujpf9GJw

In these countries its typically the role of the women and children to collect water.

Malawi, Uganda, India: living in rural areas, in mud huts with thatched roofs and there’s no infrastructure at all. To get water they might have to dig a hole in the ground or a muddy swamp-collecting water takes a lot of time for women. There are water borne diseases that they can get from the water.

Vision: Bridgit exists to combat the water crisis by bringing water to the people 1 rural village at a time.

Typically their funders will fund a water well in a rural village, Wendy’s got a list of 100s of rural villages. When Wendy has a funder come to her with a certain amount of money wanting to know what can be done with it she would ask them what would be their country of preference and mostly they don’t care. Bridgit works through collaboration partnerships within these countries that they are in-they are grassroots organsiations on the ground and Wendy will go to the partners and say what’s a priority in the village and they will provide a well-a newly drilled well in countries where there’s ground water or it would be refurbishing or restoring a disused well back to new conditions. The funder will fund this village. E.g. a drilled well costs $4,000 you can provide water a well to a village of 500+ people-it can be done very effectively for about $3 per person or less. The funder knows that for that village they have provided the well. When the well is finished it takes 6-8 weeks or less because they want to get water to the people quickly. They put a plaque on the well head with sponsored by and the funders name and then they take videos and GPS coordinates of where the well is and that’s provided to the funder.

Values and guiding principles: collaboration. Respect. Effective. Empowerment. Quality. Accountability.

Its 1 thing to go and put a well in but then what happens? A lot of aid organisations with funding that's provided through the developed worlds government to the government within the country-therefore it means nothing. They’ll go out and drill a well and leave. They people might have a well not where they want it but they’ve got water there. But then what happens the first time it: needs repair? Breaks down? A big/integral part of what Bridgit Water Foundation do involves empowering the: beneficiaries, communities-their partners work very closely with the community leaders before the project starts the community leaders have to really engage and buy into the project in order to take ownership of that well once its done. They form a water user committee Bridgit Water Foundation train them on how to set that up-chairman, vice chairman, secretary, treasurer they always say the treasurer should be a woman in charge of the money that’s women’s empowerment because often women don’t have a voice. They are trained on various things how to govern and collect small water user fees which they decide-these are people living in poverty they know how much they can and can’t afford. They make sure that the equipment that’s put in is equipment that they can easily get parts for. In a remote area it’s usually very simple hand pumps-that’s what the people ask for. They’ll train youth on how to repair-small repairs. They’ll be taught Wash: cleanliness/sanitation around the well. The whole community is involved. That well is handed over to the community. If Wendy is there she will say this well is yours and she’ll go and visit them in a year to see how they are going. They have higher then 95% still workable wells because there’s community ownership-which is
the only thing that makes it work.

The water crisis: water is the foundation of everything. When Wendy goes to the site to see the people they say water is
life. Water impacts every part of life: health, education, economies, gender equality-women walking 4 kilometres or more carrying a very heavy 20 litre water container on their: heads, backs for their family to use. Backbreaking and time consuming work. If you’ve got a women spending 4 hours a day or more walking to collect water she’s tired and there’s no time for her to do anything else. A well helps economically because that women can work-income generating activities instead of collecting water all day. Children if they are playing & they’re thirsty they will drink anything. It’s using natural resources. Huge issue and huge implications. 3 out of 4 people in the developing world live in rural areas and there's no infrastructure there, there's infrastructure in the cities but not in the rural areas that's what Bridgit Water Foundation concentrates on rural villages ⁠https://www.bridgitwater.org/water-crisis⁠

Projects and impact: provide a completion report for the funder who might being doing 5 or 6 wells at a time. Get testimonials
from one of the beneficiaries: what difference has this made to your life?

Take action: ⁠https://www.bridgitwater.org/take-action⁠

It’s around $4,000-$6,000 AUD to drill a well. The preference is to provide a drilled well-because this is a village that's never had water before. Restoring a well can be done for $2,500-$3,000.

Older village members say they never thought they would have seen the day when they had clean water.

Women look at Wendy and aspire-look what women can achieve. It has a lot to do with women’s empowerment.

Bridgit foundation is a little different in that they’re: smaller, a bit more nimble, a bit more mobile. They can get things happening a lot quicker. There’s 1 on 1 contact. Wendy started Bridgit to be more accessible for the general person out there to see the results.

This Month (November) is: Movember, Workout 4 Women!

My brother Anthony from Master of Massage and my dad John will again be growing Mo's this month to raise awareness and money for men's health. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by su***de every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all su***des. https://au.movember.com/?home https://movember.com/m/anthonyjohngatt

Choose your workout and raise funds to make a difference for women and families impacted by ovarian cancer.Choose your personal goal - 40km, 80km or 120km - and walk, run, swim or ride your way through the month. It’s a chance to build a healthy habit while standing in solidarity with women facing one of the deadliest and most overlooked cancers affecting women in Australia. Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed late and takes a heavy physical, emotional and financial toll. This challenge is about showing up for those women - step by step. Every kilometre moved and every dollar raised supports the work of Ovarian Cancer Australia, funding vital services like specialist ovarian cancer nurses, counselling and peer support - so that no woman walks alone.With a 5-year survival rate of only 49%, ovarian cancer is Australia's deadliest female cancer. Funds raised will help Ovarian Cancer Australia provide personalised support and create better outcomes for people affected by ovarian cancer. https://workout.ovariancancer.net.au/
