We completed in 2019 a highly successful, four-year grant programme in collaboration with Water.org to expand access to safe water and sanitation services for those living in poverty across Bangladesh and Cambodia. The programme exceeded all of its targets and has made a significant step forward across both countries in addressing the demand for affordable financing for household water and sanitation services. More specifically, our partnership with Water.org achieved the following:--Surpassed our targets by mobilising $135 million in capital for water and sanitation loans and reaching more than one million people with vital water and sanitation services;--Provided technical and advisory assistance to partners in Cambodia and Bangladesh to launch and scale water and sanitation lending operations and ensure the operating and governance structures built under this grant programme are robust and sustainable for the long-term; and--Enhanced the water and sanitation ecosystem by involving key stakeholders in support of affordable financing for household water and sanitation services. With Inditex�s support in October 2019, Water.org signed an agreement with Action for Social Advancement (ASA) in India to help organic cotton growing farmers gain access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities at the household level. Additionally, Inditex has supported Water. org�s work in Brazil, where the organisation is accelerating access to affordable financing for water and sanitation for those living in poverty.
