Dear Divine Souls,
I’ll never forget the day the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance was founded in my mind.
I was walking alongside the beautiful banks of the River Ganga (Ganges), only to find few places to step, because everywhere I looked, there was human waste. Some 400 million people at the time were dependent on the Ganga, and I reflected sadly that far too many were being forced to drink and bathe in the waste of their neighbours upstream.
It was then I realized that it was more important to build toilets than to build temples.
