Celebrating the life of Louisa Gosling

It is with deep sadness that we inform our members and partners of the passing of Louisa Gosling, former Chair of the RWSN Executive Committee (2019-2022), former Theme Leader of the Leave No One Behind theme (2011- 2021), and a great champion of Human Rights to water and sanitation. Louisa was an inspiration for many, including the younger generation of WASH professionals at the early stages of their career. For those who were fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work with her in person, Louisa always taught them something new each time, and was never afraid to challenge - always politely - in a way that got people thinking more deeply, more widely and profoundly... Louisa was exceptionally engaged with and a constant source of support for professionals as the field of equity and inclusion evolved and new topics emerged. Her open-minded nature was one of the critical catalysts of the fast-paced progression of efforts to leave no one behind in the WASH sector globally, which clearly shone through her work for RWSN, whether it be through leading webinars, or her passionate involvement in RWSN online discussions. Louisa had a constant presence in the working lives of inclusion experts. She actively made efforts to ensure that the younger generation of professionals had a voice, striving to constantly give them a platform, whether it be through actively involving them as part of conference workshops to encouraging them to write about their work far and wide on platforms ranging from the SuSaNA forum through to WaterAid’s WASH Matters blog. Her first-hand experience on the ground working with marginalised groups over the years shaped her leadership of the RWSN Leave no one behind theme, leaving an unparalleled legacy for theme leaders who would follow in her footsteps in years to follow. You can follow Louisa’s funeral and memorial, and share your condolences with her family using the link below.

New partners

One Drop Foundation
Canada 

The One Drop Foundation supports initiatives to ensure sustainable access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation and hygiene for communities facing extreme barriers, through innovative partnerships, creativity and the power of art, while contributing to climate action. The One Drop Foundation has developed a WASH systems approach called the A.B.C for Sustainability: the A component works to improve access to safely managed WASH services, the B component to encourage the adoption of healthy behaviours by individuals and communities, and the C component encouraging capital supporting market-based solutions. We focus on supporting access to improved WASH services because we acknowledge that the existing or lack thereof adequate infrastructures, services, and management capacities are not meeting the basic needs of people in households, schools, health centres and other key settings in terms of quality, coverage, affordability, and reliability. This translates into construction or rehabilitation of WASH infrastructure, whether these are latrines (blocks of latrines), hand washing stations, MHM facilities, sewage systems, water canalisations etc. We facilitate the practice of key behaviours through social art interventions over time, because we acknowledge that addressing WASH related behaviours requires co-creating multi-sensory and participatory experiences at individual and collective levels, revisit social norms, raise awareness, cultivate a sense of commitment, and drive (concerted) action. The WASH behaviours namely cover hand washing with soap and water; safe transportation and storage and treatment of water; payment of water tariff; and the construction and systemic use of latrine, etc. We strive to strengthen local economies because we acknowledge that the demand and offer for WASH related products and services are not met due to knowledge, capacities, and resource gaps. Activities related to the C component can be bridge financing loans where subsidies are available; community loans to support co-financing of WASH infrastructure; and technical support and financial capacity building activities for female and youth entrepreneurs, to support revenue generating activities. The projects we finance improve WASH settings in households, heath care facilities, in schools and communities, namely construction of sewage systems, handwashing stations, latrines, toilets, water connections.
