Partners for Care Photos Selected for Harvard Display

Four photos have been selected by Harvard for their display on Global Health Programs called “Eyes Wide Open”. We are excited that these photos showing the women using the water back packs will be on display at Harvard for four months and then possibly at other graduate schools after that. Partnering together Greif Corporation, PackH20, Habitat for Humanity and Partners for Care have distributed these awarding winning water back packs to ease the burden for women carrying water for their families.
