Last week, UNICEF and World Health Organization released their latest report on #water, #sanitation and #hygiene progress in schools. We are not where we need to be. We believe systems strengthening--as as an organization, as part of the One For All alliance, as a Sanitation and Water for All - a UNICEF-hosted global partnership partner--is vital for accelerating change. This week, South Sudan signed a Compact on Water and Sanitation as part of SWA's Heads of State Initiative. Along with plans for increased funding for water and sanitation services, the Compact also aims to make the country Open Defecation Free by 2030. Here, our One For All influence leaders explain why this is so important for all the countries we work within: https://lnkd.in/eiHPRKUk Melissa Revotskie David DeArmey John Butterworth

Kate Harawa has important takeaways from her time and presentations at the World Water Forum and RAG Summit. Reiterating so we all have to read twice: "Our current challenges cannot be solved by using the same approaches that have brought up the current challenges."

CEO Mark Duey explains more about why we're addressing the #watercrisis facing the United States. Our hope is that through our partnerships in the Vessel Collective we become a unified force for change.
