FINISH Mondial

2 million toilets built and counting! 🚽💪 It's been nearly a month, but the excitement hasn't faded – achieving this feat took tremendous dedication and effort from our team. Ms. Sarbani Bhattacharya Chair of the Supervisory Board at FINISH Mondial, sheds light on how FINISH Mondial has leveraged commercial finance, through microfinance institutions (MFIs) and community finance. She further explained our innovative "diamond approach," through which we collaborate closely with local partners, emphasizing behavioral change communication and community outreach to drive sanitation demand. We provide essential technical and business trainings to local entrepreneurs and masons, thus fortifying the sanitation supply chain. Crucially, our approach refrains from simply funding toilets; instead, we use grant funding to establish an eco-system that finances and builds toilets sustainably. Join us in championing #financialInnovation, fostering #partnershipsforprogress, and advancing towards our #globalgoals. Together, we can make a lasting impact on sanitation and hygiene worldwide! 💧🌍 #SanitationForAll #Sustainability #ImpactInvesting

🌟 Some fantastic news from FINISH Mondial Ethiopia!🌱 Recently, the team had the honor of hosting the Minister of Water and Energy at our market-based sanitation centers, organized in collaboration with BBBC/Finish Mondial Ethiopia. Following a comprehensive three-day training session for field experts, focused on innovative sanitation solutions, the Minister and the experts delved into firsthand experiences during their visit. They witnessed the ease of assembly of our 'toilet in the box' model, along with exploring various low-cost toilet options developed by the community. What truly stood out during this visit was the invaluable exchange of insights and experiences between the Minister, experts, and the passionate small and medium enterprises (SMEs) driving sustainable sanitation forward. It was inspiring to witness the collaborative spirit and commitment to creating impactful change in sanitation infrastructure.
