Hand-washing and Toilets: Making WASH Aspirational
Show Notes

Promoting hand-washing and providing people with toilets are two interventions for a field of work called "WASH" which stands for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene.   This month,  I learn about what WASH has to do with the climate and how such basic interventions can be both cost-effective and life-saving.  We were joined by Yusuf Kabir, Programme Specialist: Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene and Climate, DRR and Emergency Focal Point at UNICEF India, who told us about his experience implementing WASH interventions in Maharashtra India.
