This International Women’s Day, we proudly stand with UNICEF to highlight the vital need to support girls and young women. Progressing universal access to safe and equitable sanitation is essential to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. Through initiatives like training women to become masons and sales agents, we are fostering sustainable sanitation markets, creating better opportunities for women, strengthening communities, and building resilient economies, as says?Eva Mwangi, our Marketing Leader in Africa, in the video below. Join us in empowering every girl to achieve her dreams. Together, we can create lasting change. #IWD2025 #GirlsGoals

Earlier this year, we supported Kumbh Mela, an event held once every twelve years, offering a blend of spiritual and cultural experiences. It's estimated to draw 400 million individuals from around the world who travel to bathe in the sacred waters of the Triveni Sangam. In coordination with our local partner Nirgandh India, we installed our innovative and water-saving SATO solutions, which were used by an estimated 6.25 million people during the event. By participating in Kumbh Mela, we ensured a dignified sanitation experience for event attendees and introduced potential new customers to the SATO brand. Check out what Ashish Mehrotra, CEO of Nirgandh India, had to say below! #KumbhMela #sanitationforall #hygienematters #SATO #India
