To our friends and supporters:
While we are excited of all the opportunities and impact that 2022 will bring, we, as an organization, believe that it's important to take time to reflect before charging forward.
Similar to many out there, 2021 continued to be a year of challenges for us. Over the last year, we’ve seen the combined impact of a global public health crisis, natural disasters, political tumult, rampant cost inflations, and worldwide supply chain issues that hit our programs and work extremely hard.
Our team in Kolkata barely stepped foot in an office in 2021. Schools remained shut nearly the entire year in Kolkata. Transportation, importation, and the general cost of all goods have gone up exponentially. Despite that all, we reached our anticipated targets for the year while also making great strides forward across multiple areas.
We advanced the technology that helps to run our organization and make critical decisions about our impact. We saw quantum leaps forward in our menstrual health and behavior change programs. Our teams on the ground doing the hard work of major projects are now capable of doing five times more in 2021 than they were even two or three years ago. We’ve been able to routinize extensive infrastructure work in a way that previously we could only dream of.
Our engagement with our government partners continues to be a major learning curve. We look forward to sharing the ways in which we continue to balance these important relationships in the next report.
As nothing speaks quite as strongly as numbers, we are happy to report that, despite lockdowns, school closures, and a variety of other challenges, in the last quarter of 2021 our Kolkata team installed:
We have even greater hopes and plans for 2022, and we look forward to keeping you up to date along the way.
Cheers to you and your impact,
Team Splash
