The smile on this Kenyan woman's face as she receives her very own Loope toilet says it all—access to sanitation provides people with a sense of pride and dignity. At Innovation for Good, we believe that access to safe sanitation is a basic human right. Yet, according to the World Health Organization, 1.5 billion people around the world do not have access to this right. We want to change this, and make sure everyone has safe and healthy sanitation. What can you do? 👉 Partner with us and our products to deliver safe sanitation to all. #WASH #SafeSanitation #InnovationforGood

The final "Summit Spotlight" features our trusted partner Water Mission and George Greene's presentation on the impact that our pail-flush toilet, Rinse, has had on their work to provide underserved populations access to durable and gracious sanitation solutions. Water Mission has implemented "Healthy Latrines" in communities around the world. Here are our takeaways from the presentation: 💪The best solution is the one that is BUILT TO LAST💪 After installing toilets with less durable seats, Water Mission now implements “Healthy Latrines” in communities around the world using the Rinse toilet which stands the test of time and provides a more gracious sanitation experience🚽. Rinse and the Healthy Latrine have provided people like Gladys with more than just a toilet. Before, Gladys and her daughters would risk their lives to use the restroom at night in nearby fields, and now, she does not have to worry about their safety while using the restroom. Her family is happier and healthier within the comfort of their own home. Thanks George Greene, for sharing the amazing work your organization is doing. We are inspired and excited to continue working together to bring this experience to more people around the world! 🤩
