      Hi Molly- thanks for your question.

      So I just started this job three weeks ago but the highlight to date has been working with a company called American Standard. They are leading manufacturer of toilets around the world. They now realise that the billion people without sanitation around the world are actually a good market for them and they are inventing new products (Google Satopan) that is affordable for these people.

      We went to Rwanda to trial their new products and they were very enthusiastically received.

      This is the perfect situation for UNICEF – a company comes and makes a good product which impacts the health of our target areas while making money for themselves…as a result, this is likely to be more sustainable than typical charity donations….ask me if you want to know more about this kind of thing.
