I would like to bring to your attention the latest blog that my colleague Andra Tamburro at Water Advocates and I co-wrote about the overlooked burden that lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation places on women.

I also wanted to highlight this fantastic op-ed by Rose George that was published by the Washington Post’s Post Global. It reminds, on Earth Day, how damaging the lack of sanitation is to humans and the environment. She calls diarrhea “the world's most effective weapon of mass destruction.”

Please feel free to circulate these two pieces widely.
