Wish for WASH

🎉 Happiest 11th birthday to us at ! 🎉

WHAT A RIDE YALL! Taking a moment to celebrate this milestone gave us the chance to pause, reconnect, and gather with some of our –based team members who have always been so critical in shaping our journey. Being together reminded us just how much creativity, curiosity, and collective joy have powered Wish for WASH forward over the years. 💫

That energy continues to fuel our newly iterated mission. We aim to empower changemakers with the skills and mindsets to collaboratively design sustainable solutions to global challenges in water, sanitation, and hygiene and beyond. Every workshop, partnership, and prototype reflects our belief that transformative ideas grow best in community.

Building on that momentum, we are proud to keep evolving as a THINK and DO tank for the hashtag by way of hashtag (or Sustainable Development Goal 6), expanding on our products, programs, and pipelines that seek to make water, sanitation and hygiene (or hashtag ) innovation more inclusive, vibrant, and accessible for emerging leaders. 👏🏾

As we look ahead, we’re inviting our community to help us raise another $11,000 (taking us to nearly ~$30K raised) to grow our Wish for WASH Thinks Innovation Lab through our ongoing campaign. This support will help us spark new creativity, strengthen leadership development opportunities, and create more room for bold experimentation across under-researched parts of the hashtag ecosystem. ✨

CHEERS to another chapter filled with imagination and collaboration in community with some of the best because hashtag and hashtag 🚽💙
