It gives me immense pleasure to present before you the annual report of Ecosan Services Foundation, for the financial year 2008-2009. I am sure the report will provide reflection of the various activities performed by ESF, along with its networking partners.

The chosen and adapted approach of organization – “An open source knowledge provider”, has proven to be strong back bone in overall growth, by having very strong affiliation with many

likeminded organizations. This has helped to a great extent to increase ESF’s visibility across the country and region, in rural as well as urban areas, in sanitation sector, in which ESF has DAYANAND PANSE PRASHANT MAHAGAONKAR concentrated for its activities.

For year 2008-2009, falling in “International Year of Sanitation” saw up scaling of activities in sanitation world over. The highly neglected area of human life “Health & Sanitation” was brought to the centre stage by UN by declaring 2008 as International Year of Sanitation to give push to millennium Development Goals (MDG’s).

This also provided quite a boost to all those involved on water education, sanitation & working to bring overall improvement in environment conditions. ESF has been not only morally bound especially after receipt of last year’s UNESCO award for “Best NGO for Water Education in India”, but very much devoted to contribute its share to the achievement of the MDG’s.
