 Raising awareness through collaboration: FLUSH and WISE

In carrying out its goals, WISE continuously collaborates with various movements that share the same vision to work towards universal access to the basic needs of sanitation and hygiene and subsequently raise awareness via shared learning and capacity building. As a matter of reference, the 2017 UN-GLAAS Report indicates that only 3.8% of all aid funding in the world goes to water and sanitation programs, of which 42% goes to sanitation-focused initiatives. The cause for lack of funding can be traced to a limited public interest in the matters of sanitation, which usually circles around its despondent or otherwise mundane realities that the public generally grows indifferent to. Bearing this in mind, WISE teamed up in 2018 with New York-based organisation Facilitated Learning for Universal Sanitation and Hygiene (FLUSH) in endeavouring to effectively communicate to a broader audience the pressing issue of prioritising knowledge about sanitary health. Full article
