Inadequate #sanitation causes serious illnesses, limits economic productivity, and affects school attendance.

On #WorldToiletDay 🚽, check out how we’re working with @Sanergy to tackle this challenge, which disproportionately impacts #women. 👇

Women in #Ecuador own just 14% of MSMEs due to challenges like limited access to #financialservices 🏦.
