In India…
…rapid progress in ending open defecation has been achieved. However, extreme climate events and poverty remain significant challenges in reaching the SGD6 of sanitation for all. Over 100,000 children still die each year of preventable diarrhoeal diseases in the country. FINISH Mondial India started in 2009 and successfully built a local ecosystem to deliver sanitation services on a large scale. The track record under the Indian FINISH Society programme has laid the foundation for the current FINISH Mondial 6-country programme.
