Dear Friend,
A new study ([link removed](25)01186-9/fulltext) from The Lancet finds that USAID cuts could lead to 14 million deaths in the next 5 years – a sobering reminder of what’s at stake when global health funding is reduced.
While we were not among the most immediately or directly impacted organizations, we have been affected by USAID cuts and anticipate further indirect consequences. These cuts only reinforce the importance of holding ourselves to rigorous cost-effectiveness and impact standards. Especially now, every dollar must go as far as possible—and that means following the evidence, even when it leads to hard choices.
Recently, we made the difficult decision to begin phasing out about half of our chlorine dispensers in Kenya. ([link removed]) New data showed lower-than-expected usage, pushing parts of our program below our cost-effectiveness threshold. This is not a decision we took lightly. But acting on the best available evidence—even when it’s hard—is core to who we are. Ultimately this decision helps us focus our resourcing on the programs and places where we can save and improve the most lives.

Where the pipes lead
We are working as a technical partner to the Indian government’s efforts to expand access to piped water through millions of rural household tap connections.
Stories from the communities across Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, where we’re piloting in-line chlorination systems, show the transformation safe water can have on health and daily life.

Standout stat
16,000
That’s how many children’s lives our programs have saved.
Through safe water and syphilis testing and treatment, our programs save lives. Those under five are most vulnerable to the effects of contaminated water and congenital syphilis. Unsafe water causes over a million deaths every year. Congenital syphilis results in a combined 200,000 stillbirths and neonatal deaths. These deaths are preventable, and our programs are helping to prevent them.
