About the author

Brazil National WASH Coalition Forty million people in Brazil still lack improved sanitation, with the poor being disproportionally affected. A WASH Coalition was begun in 2003 to ameliorate this inequity. Including myriad organizations and agencies, the coalition advocates on behalf of the poor and marginalized. It supports initiatives such as the National Plan for Basic Sanitation, launched in 2007, and the National Campaign on Municipal Plans for Basic Sanitation, to be launched in 2011.
