Excited to present at global @MicroCreditSummit (Valladoid Spain) on #microfinance + #water #sanitation #energy. Panels: bit.ly/nyvDkZ
World Bank estimates >6% of GDP/year is lost in countries w inadequate #sanitation. 2% GDP usually difference b/w growth & recession. Sh*t.
Unacceptable & tragic #watsan factoid: 2.6B ppl lack access to sanitation. MDG goal: access to 1.7B by 2015. Reality today: reach only 700M.

In Peru, illegal water connection called "conexión artesanal." Artisanal = fun play on words, tho sadly artisans won't solve water crisis!
#Microfinance institutions see good potential for #WaterCredit solutions in Peru. Water regulators & providers also intrigued.
